He should have more respect for his co-workers and let them do
their jobs. Find a place to park out of the way and wait for them to call, which they will--eventually.
Sterile flight deck procedures prohibit pilots from performing any duties below 10,000 feet MSL, except those duties required for the safe operation of the aircraft. Sterile flight deck applies to all ground operations with parking brake released
Sure hope the parking was set when he called. The status of a gate, red zone ops, call scheds, etc, are
unsafe comm otherwise.
