Exec summary / Briefing
OverRun makes a good point: the executive summary is at odds with the main report. I was being kind in my comments.
JammedStab: your point about the briefing is well made; the crew had carried out a thorough briefing and hazard analysis for the route that they had expected to take and were clearly surprised by the initial instruction to "start, push, and face South". Would the expectation be that they then stopped and re-briefed for a new route (which had not been given to them in its entirety at that point)? What happens if the route is given piecemeal? Not being defensive, just trying to understand what is considered "practicable". The crew thought they were on a taxiway and it would be interesting to do some human factors analysis.. when the report says "lack of situational awareness" what it really means is that a combination of high workload, visual miscues (lights and taxiway construction), and probably confirmation bias, led them to continue.
