For real? I'm just kind of 'arm-chair' thinking right now. But, :25 min. prior to push??? I
really wonder how it would be received if, as a captain, you simply told the guy who wants to inspect your aircraft :25 prior to push if you politely, but resolutely, refused to let the guy aboard your A/C? You know, there are usually a row of 757 & 767s over at the hanger and north ramp, suggest that he go inspect any and or all of those aircraft. But while you're boarding? Gimme' a break! Just my off the cuff thinking, but really!
