Try to get a copy of "Airline Announcements" by George Carlin. It will sound familiar to Frequent Flyers...

The proper term is "exit". You exit the aircraft.
Not to sound snobbish but what's the deal with FA's using the term "deboard" instead of disembark. Deboard is not a word in the english language but somehow it has made it into the FA scripts of many major US airlines. Do the people that write these things not have access to a dictionary?
What gives?
