Good luck trying to explain that one to management or the insurance company when it all goes tits up and you've got an A346 sat on it's arse, or impaled in the side of a lamp post.

The only safe way to move an aircraft of this size is with an appropriate tow bar. Using rope doesn't allow for a safe pushback and no company in their right mind would try it (whether it be airline or handling agent)
