It's "please prepare the cabin for departure"! That's two points, mister!
All the check airmen I flew with were great, save for one. Yes SurferLucas, I as well have had the pleasure. The guy who one second is reading the FSM out loud to you, the next says "well... I know the book says to do this, but we do it like this on the line".
