I do it all the time when I bid for a specific red-eye but further below I put a general avoid red-eyes to avoid other trips - works great.

I just wait for them to call now and kindly let them know I'm at the airport.

Talking contract in the crew lounge before sign-in last week. Checked my schedule to see if I got a swap I put in. Nope, grumble... grumble. Hey haven't seen you in a while where you going.... Blah, blah, blah. Gotta go airplane's pulling in see ya later. Moments later. Delta scheds ringtone on my phone (AC/DC Highway to Hell)... what?, no I'm at the gate watching the flight deplane... Oh I'm sorry, thanks. No harm, no foul, forgot to sign-in.

Beats standing in line hoping to find my good pen to show off.

Pretty much required to hit the lounge for sign-in, otherwise I'll be stuck asking 10 different gate agents for the door codes.

Bad move. Now we're late. Restroom, food, call home, then print schedule if I can find a printer that works. I'm not really motivated to run around on my 40 minutes turn with a plane change, but that's probably just me.

Oops, internal voice keeps getting out.

No problem. We're late, we're late. Just put it down as waiting on FO to get his shizzle together.

I hope this was a joke. I'll "send you" a FU glare.

That's gonna be awhile, that's why he's still an FO. I seem to be the scapegoat for the ramp, the gate, scheduling, MX, etc. add it to the list. What's the P-code for that? PFOAFU?

Mostly. But if the FO keeps asking me for the door code, I'm gonna tell you to go get the codes for yourself. Or get a new FO. (That was kinda a joke too. Or not.

)
