A terrible accident.
I have had a chat with the ground handlers before regarding their attitude to parking aircraft, but It seems to go in one ear out the other. I suspect they think I'm being a prat.
It irks me to be arriving on stand with vehicles all over the place or hastily being moved out of the way, barely outside of the area, with guys milling about.
From my point of view, when the aircraft is arriving on stand the entire team outside should be paying attention to the aircraft, not laughing and joking which often seems the case. Guys walking up with chocks before we've even set brakes, etc. Some scary stuff seen. And a lot of it in the UK.
Is it a case of 'i've never seen it happen, won't affect me?'
