FT,
If we ask how long it takes before our stand becomes available doesn't always mean we are impatient. We got people in the back who we need to keep updated so if we can give them an approximate time that keeps them happy.
Oh I know, that's why I said that sort of request was at one end of the possible range of things crews might ask/request/suggest. Unless it's quiet, or I have an 'on the ball' Delivery or Lighting Op, I'm far too busy to find out myself. In fact, I might be just as eager to find out as you, as it may affect where I hold you.
