yeah apparantaly the pilot taxied off stand with the GPU not removed out the way of the a/c. 2 airway guys we're treated for shock. lucky escape, could have been a lot worse.


I agree it could've been tragic, but perhaps we should wait for the report rather than blaming the Captain for taxiing into a GPU.
I've been told by ramp people that the Captain had no brakes. Perhaps checking hydraulic/air pressure prior to requesting chocks be removed might've saved the day, but let's wait for the report eh.
