[@keithfreitas2983]

Gooood vid. Brings back memories. Worked the ramp at age 20 starting my airline career busting bags and all the other jobs required to turn an aircraft around. Retired as an FAA Licensed Aircraft Dispatcher. Best aviation job ever. Miss the jumpseats and simulator for annual quals.

[@gerardtorres8600]

I've never seen an aviation video from this perspective....so cool...thanks for sharing.

[@ladyandtheramp]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@ArizonaAirspace]

Thanks for uploading this video. I am a former airline pilot and I was always very appreciative of our ramp agents pushing back our aircraft and generally taking care of us on the ramp. I never saw from your perspective so that was really interesting. I now fly private corporate jets and no longer taxi into those gates but my jet still get serviced by ramp agents at private FBOs for fuel, towing, ground power units etc.

[@ladyandtheramp]

Glad you enjoyed it! I have really enjoyed talking to the pilots and if ever I have a question, they have been so wiling to share their knowledge with us! It is definitely a team effort! Thank you!

[@ArizonaAirspace]

For the responsibility of moving those machines that cost millions of dollars, you certainly get my vote for a raise in pay! Whether you are aware you are an inspiration for those who want to get into this line of work. You do awesome work with a smile and great attitude! I hope your employer is watching. It's time to recognize ramp agents and their importance!!! In my books you are just as important as the pilots and crew.

As a well-experienced truck driver, I have a great deal of respect for pushback drivers. I'm quite certain it takes a great deal of skill to steer that plane where you want to take it.

[@ladyandtheramp]

[@gop4usa12]

@@ladyandtheramp You're welcome. I kind of see pushing back a plane about the same as backing a trailer. It takes a few years to master it.

[@philipwilson4671]

Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch a pushback from the cab. Several years ago I worked at BLI and had the opportunity to push back a private A319 whose #2 engine failed to start. The flight engineer opened the door and pushed a ladder out and climbed down, then proceeded to open the cowling and work on the engine until it started. Weird but then it was a foreign operator and you never know what to expect. :-)

[@ladyandtheramp]

Wow!! That is quite the experience!! A private airbus? That is cool! But have the flight engineer fix the engine?!? Wow!

[@skittles5347]

Was that KBLI? I used to go up there all the time. They had a really cool flight museum there!

[@RamblingVlogger]

I’m a lead deicer at HPN and I have to plug into the headset to talk with pilots for checks before deicing. I have it easy compared to the ground crew and I depend on their help often so I show my appreciation for their hard work!

[@TB-um1xz]

I worked ramp and deiced as well in the past. I've never heard of a "lead"

[@RamblingVlogger]

@@TB-um1xz a lead is the one who orchestrates the operation and guides the trucks during the operation as well as talking to the pilots. It maybe be different at other airports but that’s how it’s done at the airport I work at. Also we are a third party deicer not rampers doing deicing. I work for IDS

[@ladyandtheramp]

I totally agree!! It is so important to have great team work out there! And thanks for your appreciation! It makes a difference!

[@bigjoel3599]

@@ladyandtheramp 5 long bins and the 6th at the tail end and it's difficult to stand up in but someone could if they stand up at about a 90 degree angle. We normally would be on our knees with top of our heads touching the ceiling or lay on our backs. You have a favorite aircraft to work?

In the airline I worked for we always disconnected the tow bar from the tug before disconnecting from the aircraft. This released the tension in the bar and reduced the possibility of damage to the aircraft nose oleo.

[@ladyandtheramp]

I have heard and seen that from other companies! But with my company…we do it the opposite. After the brakes are set on the aircraft, we disconnect the tow bar from the nose gear, disconnect the communication cable and then do not disconnect the tow bar until we are back in the gate parking space for the push tug :) we are supposed to have the nose gear, tow bar and tug all lined up so as to not create that tension you spoke of.

Being an airliner pushback driver isn’t easy. Work in all weather conditions, the ground can be slippery, loud noises from the turbofan engines, etc. Also that Airbus A321 is worth over $100 million so better not run that into anything. She doing a good job.

[@grasscutter88]

@@ladyandtheramp What does it take to get into one of these jobs? I take it you have to throw some luggage before they let you hook onto an airplane on your first day?

[@anbooba]

I worked on bushing back for a couple of years, I bushed mainly airbuses 320s, the Bush Back manual dictated that we disconnect the tow bar from the tug first, disconnect it from the plane, few guys did the short cut by just disconnect in one step, from the plane, but they will get a warning if they got caught. I wonder what is your manual says, and if we were just wasting time disconnecting in 3 steps?!!

[@ladyandtheramp]

In our ROM (Ramp Operations Manual), the procedure is to disconnect the tow bar from the aircraft, after coming to a complete stop and the tug operator instructs the pilot to set the parking brake.

[@petejay75]

I have worked at my local international airport for 18 years and have done pushback work among many other things. The standard way to disconnect the towbar here is also from tug first and then from the plane. This is to minimise the chance of damage to the landing gear, the towbar itself and most importantly the person doing the disconnecting. Safety first in EVERY task! It only takes a few seconds more but can save time, money and pain in the long run.
