So, uh, what's an 'enplaned passenger'
thexylom OP t1_j2c1x3g wrote
A passenger who gets on a plane haha

Fuck getting in the plane. I’m getting IN then plane. Let Evel Kneival get on the plane.
EDIT: goddamn autocorrect ruined my life!

Kinda the Reddit comment equivalent of excitedly telling a great joke, but forgetting parts of it and then having to go back in the joke's time-line, lol.

George Carlin was a genius

One of my favorite jokes of his.

What the hell is wrong with the word “embark”. We already have a word for this.

Because enplaned is a word and it's a better fit in this context.

Was also my question. Thank you for taking the bullet

I have never heard the term 'enplaned' in my entire life, and I've been around for several decades. Don't they mean 'boarded' or 'on-boarded'?

Emplaned sounds like an industry word, but maybe OP just made it up 🤷

It is an industry word, we used the same definition by the Indianapolis International Airport:

Cool, I figured it was pretty standard outside of consumer interactions.

Perhaps 'deplaned' is more common?
I hear that one on occasion.
rabbitlion t1_j2dj7c1 wrote
Deplaned is usually not used for passengers just getting off a plane though. Deplaning a passenger typically refers to throwing them off the plane before takeoff because they're behaving badly.

More so when used in tandem with “forcibly.”

It’s nice to have an equal number of both. Like “takeoffs” and “landings”
markth_wi t1_j2dulsz wrote
I have to imagine numbers skew at the edges, people die or are born on planes.
kimchiMushrromBurger t1_j2dsd3y wrote
They use deplane on every flight though.

In the industry an enplaned passenger is a passenger that gets on an airplane at a specific airport. A deplaned passenger is one that gets off at a specific airport. Generally when comparing places against each other enplaned passengers are the metric that everyone looks to.
