Tell the gate we're not boarding until we get back then we need 10 minutes to inhale or even 15. Push late who cares. I've explained this to the pax and the CPO, never had an issue. In fact the cp said good lookin out for your crew.
Don't you mean YOUR cpo, and YOUR chief pilot. Your possession is discriminatory.
In all seriousness, won't it kind of suck if they start boarding before we get there. Sometimes it takes 5 min to get from outside to the cockpit after a walk around if they already started boarding. I just don't like the idea of having to push past 30 people with bags on a jet bridge, just to stand 5 feet from the door and wait on a wheelchair. If they start boarding before we are at the jet, it really could make us rushed, or late.
