on board
Ready to sail
On board means aboard—physically present on a ship, plane, train, or other vehicle: All passengers are now on board.
The phrase extends to participation or agreement with a plan or idea: Is everyone on board with the new policy?
We need to get the whole team on board before we proceed.
Also spelled as one word: onboard.
