@AD2001: because it makes no sense, that you can tell your team members, to disembark, if no one is sitting in the chopper.

If you have created an ally chopper and assigned it to the group, by default there is a pilot or pilot(s) which you are ordering to disembark. I would suggest that in most cases, this behavior is working as designed.
Typically in the editor, you would have to override this behavior by using scripting in the init of the chopper to remove the pilots from the chopper in order for this to have a chance of being an actual bug. In which case, its difficult to understand why the group association between a ground unit and a chopper.
Most scenarios I can think of, you would probably instead use an empty chopper, which you could then order as needed.
Help me understand what I am missing here?

@OddballSix: Do not assign or group the chopper with the squad. The "Disembark"-entry will still be there for your squad leader. I don't know how, but the entry only appears, if there is an ally chopper near your squad.

Well, the Disembark button is present all the time, even if there is not helicopter nearby. It does have reasons.
Thank you.
