I should clarify.
A seperate frequency with absolutely no authority to tell an aircraft to push.
The existing function of ground control on 121.7 for pushback & taxi in or out from the gate.
The company rep should be just looking at logistics.
Say for example there are two aircraft ready to push and one aircraft has just landed and is taxing in and 3 minutes from the gate.
The aircraft one calls company for the authorisation to call ground for push.
The company knows aircraft two have got the final load sheet and is 30 minutes behind schedule.
Company advises aircraft one. Behind the aircraft taxi in for gate X and after aircraft two pushes your clear to call ground for push.
Hence my comment aurcraft call Ground frequency at a metered rate & the company decides the order in which aircraft shall push.
