Re Intro of pushback at GCI
As usual FlyBE are crying "wolf" before they have seen it. Push back is to be introduced at GCI for a 2 year period while aprons are reconstructed (runway too in fact). The tractors and operators are being paid for as part of the budget for the work. Previous posts showing GCI is the only airport served by FlyBE not using pushback are also relevant...I have noticed too that at Bristol (where both types of parking are available), it is usual to see their DASH 8 nose in - in front of the terminal.
