Shakespeare..TN copped it, AN copped it, VQ copped it, QF still cops it, all Australian institutions cop it. Why should DJ be different? Ignore the thread if you don't like it.
Some people post these types of threads out of spite. Others feel the need to explore the ramifications of such incidents. Some, like Pimp Daddy raise valid questions on the topic. Those of us who don't know the checklists find it interesting that there IS a check for it.
As I am back on the ramp these days, it interests me to know that things like this can happen. With my hearing protection on, and the amount of extra noise from other aircraft, like the passing prop in this topic, I also would not have had a concern about the aircraft next to me as I "thought" it wasn't going anywhere at that time. I would consider myself experienced on & around aircraft, but reading this & others like it remind that eternal vigilance is abso-friggin-lutely essential!!!
