After the accident, what will the crew be saying to the CP to justify this?
Some ramps have just that, a ramp before the ideal parking position, requiring considerable thrust application to reach the ideal parking spot, which may be jetty determined but also ensure the tail of the 'frame is not encroaching on the taxiway.
I can only assume this manoeuvre is an example of "showing off", and sooner or later the practitioner(s) will come to grief. I and no one with whom I have operated have NEVER EVER considered it as a professional, disciplined and safe method of parking and IMHO it is fraught with risks and danger and should never be considered as a way of parking 89 million dollars of aircraft, let alone the 189 hapless SLF in the back.
