Autoglide, I have noticed the proximity of the pushback team and the engines before, it does seem fairly close but I'm looking on from a distance of around 30 yards usually. I'll be dealing with 2 737-500's tomorrow (or today to be absolutely correct), I'll keep an eye on it if I've time, the pushback procedure at Glasgow Stand 1 requires 2 turns, although I'm not sure how close to the max angle they are since I'm not on the pushback team myself. I think this incident serves to reinforce the danger of working near such powerful pieces of equipment, sadly someone has paid a heavy price in doing so.
