Great story that one 'dus' makes for interesting reading:-) Same thing happens out on the roads daily (poor car-man-ship) but road rage is the result. Hopefully pilots are more tolerant/professional but it won't be long before some one gets their snout kicked in at a fuel pump !
I doubt these people do it on purpose they simply don't think outside their own little world. I'd like a dollar for every time I have been loading/unloading a patient(back in the good 'ole days) & have had to endure some pilot running up his engine prior to t/off right beside us as well as pilots parking right in front of us blocking our taxi out path, they just have no idea, it's amazing they even know which side of the plane to sit on!
Airman-ship is a lost art these days
