I assure everyone I meant no offence, and did not mention what happened then.
Perhaps a little humour at my expense will help?
During that sad time we had to handle all the ''visitors'' and although I had been with one Company at the time for some 25-26 years, they had different procedures to what we were used to.
I was handling and then dispatching one of them one night, first time I had done this one, Aircraft was parked side on to the terminal as we did not do pushouts.
I gave the Crew clear to start both engines, then one of them said ''turning right''
I looked around and told them ''you can NOT do that or you will hit the terminal''.
After they stopped laughing they explained that meant to THEM they were cranking up (turning) the right engine.
Then when they said ''turning left'' I very confidently told them that is better it is clear that way.................
True story............
