Ok in the first picture is looks like the larger birds are under tow so that can be resolved. How does picture 2 work out? It look like there is no room to maneuver and no tugs
ReplyDeletemaybe a Mexican standoff.....so press 1 for English please.............misstwa
ReplyDeleteDid someone do this on purpose?
ReplyDeleteI'd make AF stand out in the back by the remotes if it was me. Some of the rudest crews I've ever met. Now HA can have all the time and space they want.
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the upper photo is that the two jets are being towed to their gates and the turboprop is holding until that is accomplished. Did someone make a mistake on the 2nd photo and how was it resolved? Hawaiian seems to be making a u turn that could spell trouble for the truck to its right.
ReplyDeleteCan you explain what exactly happens in a situation like this. In the second picture there doesn't seem to be an "out". Do they have to call a tug? How does this happen?
ReplyDeleteI reckon Hawaiian is just about, if it hasn't already, to make a left turn into a gate. Air France is waiting.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how airports work, but at sea the unofficial Law of Gross Tonnage states, 'the Larger Veseel shall have Right of Way'
ReplyDeleteAwesome pic#1.
ReplyDeleteI recall a similar situation a year ago that I saw while leaving onboard an AA flight from LAX to ORD. A departing AA 757 was being pushed back while my flight was still at the gate and tug personal pushed him back the 757 to a point blocking the entrance to an empty gate. At the same time, another AA 757 under tow was coming into the ramp to its gate and its gate was being blocked by the departing 757. A couple minutes passed, the departing 757 was pulled back to its gate to allow the 757 under tow to park at its gate, and the departing 757 was re-push back. Those passengers and I who noticed thought it was funny. Ah the beauty of one-ways.
I am guessing since they both use Terminal 2 which seems to be the place this is happening, one of them is arriving at their gate, the Hawaiian since it looks like it is turning without a tug.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the comments about the 2nd picture: Air France is holding and Hawaiian is about to turn left into it's parking spot.
