Wait a minute! Shouldn't the "air stairs" be pulled back and all four engines started before the pilot requests "taxi instructions" from the tower?!!

@TheWarPlanet Hell, yes! Any time I've flown an airplane (single engine land), I always had the plane all fired up and ready to roll before requesting taxi instructions. Any idea how long it took to fire up all four engines on one of these 1950's DC'6's? I know long enough for "ground control" to get a little impatient waiting for the pilot to start the engines, have the "air stairs" pulled back and the wheel chocks removed.!
