Default Cunning escalator plan?

In message , at 08:24:29 on Thu, 20
Jan 2005, Mark Brader remarked:
English-speakers from North America may be able to figure out "Way Out",
but we do find it rather... well... way-out.


"this is the way out of the building", as opposed the "this is the way
into the building".

Seems clearer to me than "deplaning" and "landing momentarily" (*for* a
moment rather than *in* a moment, in UK English).
