I really feel for the ground crew in this one. I don't think RYR have an understanding attitude to people who are on "interesting" end of an incident, especially if they are holding the cosh. I hope they hang on to their jobs. Now here's a question: Is there really any need for more than one ground crew member to be involved in a push-back? My experience is that the fewer there are the better and that is because of focus. Tug drivers know where the "bits" are and when performing a pushback by by themselves, even from tight spots, can spend more time driving and less time looking out for a weird and wonderful signals from colleagues.
