Meeting... in the ops area... Yea. Hmm. Riiiiight. You talking ETOPS or... nevermind I've got a walkaround to do and a couple dozen buttons to push while the CA reads the MEL, be happy if I remember to grab a new garbage bag. I think most captains I've flown with are happiest if I get there early enough that it's not awkward for them to hang back to make sure my roller bag is the one on the bottom haha.
