It makes departing much easier ...no more need for push-back tugs, we just reverse the polarity at the gate.

Well that's another giant leap towards the Prime Minister pledge to get the UK Carbon Neutral by 2030..
So why is he still flying a gas guzzling Boris Force 1 ??
Oh yes, the rules don't apply to him.
