Planes do not back up. They are towed out of the gate by a ground crew. The pilot takes over AFTER the plane is far enough away from the gate that it can move forward and turn toward the taxiway. This is clearly the fault of the tow operator.
@@averageboeing737 Sorry. Dropped the word “not” about the editors not catching the mistakes made by the writers, before it popped into the teleprompter. Sorry about that. You’ve seen the movie with William Hurt, Holly Hunter and Albert Brooks “Broadcast News”? If not, I recommend it.
@@kevlar7669 Aye. Who knew pushback could be so dangerous? Who’s flown out of Logan before? Is the tug driver also on the com with the pilot or are they 2 different people?
Like the reporter, most people here have no idea what they are talking about. This is the fault of the ground crew not the pilots.
Ahhhh the rear wing. Good thing they didn’t hit the front wing or even worse, the actual wing
LOL dude no kidding like what
Flying is scary today.
No one talking about how the entire tail of the CRJ required replacement due to warping from the collision.
Happening way too often
Hey Roger did you look before backing up?
They definitely don’t know who Roger is!!! Lol. Throwback.

Ah yes, the rear wing
LOL reporters.
@@lcfflc3887 give her a break. She’s reading copy, blame the editor for screwing it up.
@@shepardbook teleprompter people, they literally get paid to read. LOL even if it's nonsense
@@lcfflc3887 Precisely!
United airline had lots of accident like these but now Delta?
That’s it -never flying again.
Bro shut up
Oops 😬
What the walker was doing? Where was he?
I guess he was just "winging it"
What do you mean about the walker? What was the tug driver doing? At first blush, it sounds like they started pivoting the 757 too soon.
Probably texting
I don’t know where he was, but I do know where he is now. Looking for a new job.
Rear wing? Blue wing? That's called a winglet... And that rear stabilizer is a horizontal stabilizer. Who the hell writes these?
Blame the editors for NOT catching and correcting the copy.
@@shepardbook What?

@@shepardbook Haven't seen that yet. I'll give it at shot when I have a chance!
Have you ever seen a pilot back a plane out of the gate area? They are towed out. Pilot had nothing to do with this.
This is what happens when you retire all of your pilots early during the Covid 19 pandemic.
No not really, I dont see how the pilot shortage affects the quality of the ground crew
@@MattyAviation IMHO its not the shortage...but the rushed training / re certification before flying again (post covid)
i think this is ground crew's fault, they are the ones who do the push back.
@@larrymalpaya This isn't the aircrew's fault, this is 100% on the ground crew
Please guys, let him believe it’s the lack of pilots to blame. Maybe he won’t fly again and that will be one less idiot we are force to sit next to.
Happy we got the best pilots and controllers
Ground crew, the pilot wasn't even in control of the plane, what you talking about?
@@yeffry and the very best ground crew
