If in doubt STOP and reassure yourself before continuing - no matter what ATC say or the follow-me says, it's YOUR responsibility.

Looks like the LOT was on 180 and the ROU inbound to 181:

Correct. ROU was coming in to 181; LOT was boarding at 180:

I love the (now deleted, but cached on Google) post on Facebook from Teamsters Canada (currently in dispute with Swissport):


An untrained manager was pushing back a LOT Airlines plane who hit an Air Canada Rouge plane. The wingwalker, who was an untrained temp worker, did not know that he should have been watching the wing.
Good to see Teamsters not letting the truth get in the way of a good story. :O

Some gates have an "A" centreline offset to the right to accommodate larger types. Maybe someone wasn't on the correct line.

OK, but if you have a wingwalker that doesn't know "he should have been watching the wing," that could be a problem.

Should probably be captioned "Union unconcerned about establishing the facts". :O

Interesting quote from the spokesman:

"There should have been wingwalkers on both of the aircraft". Really, on arriving flights ??

However he goes on to say that:

"The LOT aircraft may have been parked on the wrong line".
