757 Pushback San Francisco

[aircraftinformation]

Man I'd love to be a pilot out there... Nothing but blue skies, gorgeous scenery, warm sunny weather... Better than the uk by far!

[nanaimoclipper]

nice, check out my 737 800 pushback vid

[ollo1982]

Wow... Smack on the taxi line! Great Video man! :D

[33minnesotatwins]

lol was that wing walker in the military? Very professional running out, turning around, and getting the plane on its way!

[thevidguy11]

Whaaaaaat da fuuuaaackkk

[honest413]

Hey I hear from the rampers at UA at LAX that ramp crews from ORD and IAD always mix up city bags with connections bags most of the time which can be a pain in the a_s

[Bigbones23]

@honest413 vice versa it's the LAX crews that the worst sometimes u open the pit door and the pit is completely trashed no bags stacked mail or freight in pit 5 and bag in 6

[rlgarcia37]

Yea we require tail walker and wing walkers....what is the streamer that the Crew Cheif removes by the Nose gear landing light? It that disable the steering so you can push back?

Thanks

[23484000287739]

@rlgarcia37 thats to they can communicate with the pilots



[VotGadast]

How yo uconnect to the pilot??

[GtaCd321]

@VotGadast That cable you see at 1:28 is connected to the plane and the pushback guy is in contact-communication with the pilot

[av8or757]

Awesome push. Right on the J line. CO would never let us push with one wingwalker though. It'll be interesting to see how they do everything now. Of course the saying was the further youb were from Houston ( headquarters ) the easier they were on you about stuff.

Hahahahaha. At CO green vests are new hires. Always liked to see them. Made my senority go up.

[Techno04335]

What is the wire connecting to the aircraft?

[nofreedom4racists]

looks like the left wheel on your towbar is kinda damaged.

[mowglibj91]

it is san francsico dum head

[edtheabraham]

what's going on at 2:35? LOL

[ricandre2004]

this brings me back

[ultras514]

nice smooth push!

[ROYNEPTUNE]

Easiest job at the airport and the most fun duty.

[AirCanada014]

nice video of the pushback of United B757-200.. I was wondering that wire that is hanging on the aircraft to your truck is that for you to communicate with the pilot?

[plsniper]

@AirCanada014 Yes, the driver has the headsets on. Tells the crew to release brakes for pushback, when to start the engines, and set brakes for disconnect.

[the1982petrus]

I would much rather disconnect from the gear like here. My company disconnects from the pushback first and the tension is severe enough that rampers are taught to pull on the tow pin while the pushback operator changes gears into reverse. This way the pin doesn't get stuck pulls out smoothly, but sometimes violently. Love pushing...have 3,000+ but who's counting.

[guitarsnowmobiler]

how do you get a job like this? what wxperience do u need?

[dechm4af]

I miss that part of the job

[mykey0314]

Damn! I miss working at sfo.

[paddyfc07]

nice push back, but when he finished the guy should of released from the tug. taking short cuts will get you into trouble.

[Tracon]

@paddyfc07 Most US Airlines Ground Operation Manuals state to disconnect at the nose gear. I know in Europe and other countries the norm is to do it at the pushback but for some reason that has never stuck here.

[Darryl39345]

was the left engine started first? normally right is started first on 757/767

[MusicLover11325]

@Darryl39345 No, It was the right (1) then left (2) in this video, I'm really confused which aircraft for which engine to start first

[aaronman89]

The plane that passes behind this 757 is the Eagles plane (A320) for US Airways

[Doctors2Advocate]

Nice push man.

[havregryn]

This is a very nice push. Good job dude:)

[Feen4Tube]

this guy is good i can never see myself doing a 757 pushback that fast...not even a 737..

[FSim4ever]

very good job !!

[halo2windows]

SFO is the awesomest airport. Ever

[boeingt]

how fast normally is a plane pushed back? im sure speeds differ for differnt planes

[ilynchy]

it depends how fast the engineer can walk haahah

[simpsonstewie]

i suppose that is premium service?

[ansettaddict123]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­:) looks like fun

[JakePeavyFan44]

What plane was it?? It looked like a southwest on the bottom??

[TylerjdFilms]

That would be United Airlines

[Ben123planes]

It couldn't have been southwest, they only have 737's, it could have been United or Delta.

[airplaneman121]

@JakePeavyFan44 you can c at the end did you watch the whole thing?

[wannabepilot22]

its a united 757

[Doa744]

long pushback 0_0

and yea big and high a/c are a lot easier to push then lets say an md80 class type

[robagl]

NICE PUSHBACK!!! Right on the line!!! I used to be a rampie before I bcame a Flight Attendant for United!!

[TIMETOWAKEUPEUROPE]

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

One of the best jobs at airport.

P.S. I'm trying to get this job! :)

[platinumfoota]

Kool video. The 757 was easy to pushback because you had a great view behind the aircraft. Kool to see the winglets, PS Rocks!!

[chinesekid05]

one that that a pushback driver should never say, "Whoops, that wasn't supposed to happen"

[HorsesAndPlanes]

Very cool video! I used to work at an airport and the pushback was always one of the best parts.

[FaHaD7arB]

GOOD JOP,

[Cessna154]

That pushback truck makes it look so easy to push all of the weight.

[SledHeadNE]

I love pushing 57s you can see everything

[cjracer1000]

no offence my dda was just scared O_o

[cjracer1000]

[acdcrocks01]

WOP -? IS THAT U ?

[cjracer1000]

[maderacop87]

One of the easiest planes to push back next to the CRJ's. I loved pushin em when I worked for US Air

[THarm688]

Very nice job.

[jjjay69]
