Yeah, you notice that these planes have more than one door -- it would
be _so_ nice if airports would design gates to use multiple doors at

(I know, some airports in Europe do this. Just not here.)

There was great confusion, getting off the plane in Belize City, when
the flight attendant pointed out that we could "deplane" from the rear
door. For most of us, that was an entirely new concept.

Of course, what we "deplaned" on was the wheeled staircase, onto a
broiling surface. (102 degrees F was spoken of in the city that day.)
