Using "a bordo"..... estás a bordo? estás a bordo esto con nosotros?

I ask because my bud told me that tripulación can be used as crew like, gang of guys like, I want to be in your crew or something like that. Ganglike.

In Spain it would be a weird thing to say to someone who is not fluent in English. "¿Estás con nosotros?" is pretty standard, though.

Thats the problem, a lot of my native friends are also fluent in English so they might think something is right, becuase they speak English, and not realize how odd it really is. - jeezzle, May 21, 2011

Oh... In English are you on board means....... ¿Estás con nosotros? - jeezzle, May 21, 2011
I know what it means in English, jeezle, but what is the "esto" doing there? we would probably say: estás en eso con nosotros - 00494d19, May 21, 2011
Are you on both this with us? Like, this project? I don't know, sounds OK to me in English but different regions talk a bit differently you know, might be odd in New York or somewhere. - jeezzle, May 21, 2011
