Best solution to this problem, sit your butt on the sofa infront of YouTube during bad weather.

I think Pilots are one of the most brave professionals. Even when they are face to face with death they follow their trainnings and try to save as many lifes as possible
-
even when the pilots knew they were going down they still didn't initiate full throttle because of noise abatement rules...incredible

@kenosape I have been on a plane which used reverse thrust to back out of the gate.

@kenosape what is 'operation agent', 'load and balance control', 'FO', 'purser', 'tug'?

Too bad this happened as the plane was still flyable even with the snow accumulation. All engine gauges were reading accurate except one, the EPR (exhaust pressure ratio) gauge. The N1(RPM) gauge told them the truth, but they did not look at it. Had they selected the engine anti-ice on, this never would have happened. We use engine heat anytime the outside temp is 10 C or below with visible moisture / precipitation present.

Makes no damn since. BS When hell freezes over and the devil skate on ice. Not sitting on a plane in those conditions. Would have kicked ass just so i can get off the damn plane. Just swinging, head butting, i will climb up your back jump off your head if need be. My life is precious, and GOD agrees. Season pilots make a fatal judgement error.

@kenosape But in this instance it did. Its a major error but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It was a contributing factor to the crash into the bridge.
Just a correction. I'm a Operations Agent and pilots never do reverse thrust "to assist pushback". An average towcar is already 30 tons.So they dont need to be assisted.Only assist they need just dont start the engines so early if it is a lighter towcar..As i told before,just a correction. Regards,

@kmerszei First of all i am an operation agent who you owe your life,if you know what load and balance control means and im assuming you are an FO if not a purser. Anyway if you read what i wrote at first,while connected to a tug you can not reverse thrust.If you are not towing a towcar though. Anyway,dont forget that the last thing you see at an airport is my thumb up and i know how much you like and want to see many times...
