Question Techniques to stop ground crew pushing back with brakes ON

Hi all,

I would like your constructive feedback on pushbacks and how to prevent groundcrew attempting to push the a/c back with the brakes still set. I have just had such an incident, which although not serious, could have been nasty. In this instance, he did not wait for confirmation that the brakes were released.

We normally rely on SOP's as a guide to prevent most things going wrong. These are great if you both speak English as your first language, but this was not the case here.

Your ideas would be appreciated to prevent this happening to me again.

Kind regards

Mo
