Narrative:
Arrived at aircraft late. Hurried situation. Completed preflight checks and called for taxi. Some confusion on frequency and 2 callbacks required to confirm taxi. Taxi was very short and again hurried. I believe we were cleared to runway '34L via taxiway Q.' upon crossing runway 34R, I was told of a 'possible pilot deviation.' factors involved were: rushing to complete tasks, poor communication with tower, miscom between myself and first officer. Supplemental information from acn 558353: we were cleared to taxi to runway 34R. As we approached runway 34R at taxiway Q, I queried the captain that we needed to hold short of runway 34R at taxiway Q. He had in his mind's eye to taxi to runway 34L via taxiway Q. He stated we were cleared to runway 34L via taxiway Q. We both misunderstood the taxi clearance. Factors contributing are: short taxi, behind schedule, and lack of familiarity with the airport.
