[QUOTE=Gove N.T.;9975028]Perhaps people will learn from this. One of the controllers told the VS crew to pull over as far as possible to the right. A guide on the ramp would be a useful indicator.
There is a guide, it's a yellow line. Unless one of the a/c involved wasn't on the yellow line then the markings are wrong and there should be a warning as such ( just like on the ATIS at LHR after a similar incident). In fairness if everyone stopped to get positive visual clearance ( from whom ?) every time a wide body passed another wide body on taxiways there'd be gridlock at JFK.
