Is anyone prepared to admit to disregarding the marshaller's signals at any time ?
Have I ignored the marshaller before? Yes, I have.
When the two wing walkers were looking at their phones and not the airplane, and the lead was too focused on the stop bar to look at the bigger picture, I stopped.
When it was clear the marshaller was bringing me onto a stop line far beyond where the gate could reach the main cabin door, I stopped.
When it was clear they were bringing me onto a line designed for a wide body aircraft, not a narrow body aircraft, I stopped.
We all make mistakes, and I put my trust in a marshaller as far as I would anyone else. If it looks wrong, I stop. I’d rather be wrong and not crunch a wing than follow someone’s directions and wonder why the winglet is sitting inside the bridge or on the ground.
