Oh yeah. And the call about 30 minutes before your PAX actually get there for engine start, because if you call when they actually arrive you'll be sitting for an hour plus in the queue with pax on board... And then they call you earlier and you conveniently have a passenger in the FBO (they haven't arrived yet) or you have a MX issue about 5 mints after the start clearance.. (pax haven't arrived yet)...
Oh the fun.
Yeah. My bluff has been called more than once. I even have gotten the pax on board, told the FA to go ahead and start dinner service because we'd be there for a while only for them to clear me to start, taxi, and takeoff in 5 minutes leaving the poor FA scrambling to "pause" her service. Whoops!
