Narrative:

Courtesy call to ground off gate at isp. Ground/tower told us to have ground crew push us back tail east on sierra. Ground crew complied. During engine start; the ground supervisor was heard telling landing traffic on 33L to be careful because company may have pushed back deep on sierra. Our aircraft tail appeared to be pushed beyond the 33L hold line. This could cause a problem with aircraft on arrival 33L especially if large amounts of breakaway thrust were applied while a light aircraft was landing.
