Oh thank you!

Y do you wear tennis shoes at the airport driving

Oh thank you! I love my job 😁❤️

😁

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!

@@ladyandtheramp Yes. That’s the word, TEAMWORK. Well choreographed teamwork at display everyday! Nothing moves out without you guys!

Very cool !

Flying for wheels up doesn’t count

@@hulkhoganstights6596 You seem confused. I don’t fly for wheels up.

Thank you! 😁

@@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.

You are correct! The more you do it, the better you get :)

It's a little different (opposite steering) from a truck and trailer because there are two pivot points. And, as I bet you're aware, the longer the wheel base on the plane/trailer, the easier it is to steer because they dont react as quickly. Tiny planes are a little more squirrely in my opinion. And I agree with the skill. They dont usually let the new guys do pushbacks with all that's at stake. Gotta be a good worker and show that you know what you're doing. Its an indicator you're good at your job @ladyandtheramp 🙂

We appreciate our mechanics for keeping our planes safe! Thank you for your work!!

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

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

@@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

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

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

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

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

Thank you very much!

@@ladyandtheramp most. welcome. do u go LAX

Oh I am jealous…I bet we would use the A/C instead of the heater 😂

I totally agree with you! I love it! 🥰

Thanks for the sub!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!!

Safer than Boeing, apparently.

Winters are THE best! Summers are 🔥🔥

...and is got hotter. Take care. Stay hydrated when you work outside.

Thanks!

Thank you! 😁

Oh that is great! Thank you!!

Wow, thank you!

Haha! 😂

Very cool!

I have never been inside of an MD80…how are those bins? Can you stand up?

@@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?

😂

Ok…I have never heard the term “Yuke”…is that like a push tug?

Very cool! That is awesome!

The u were/are birds actually!!

Thanks again!

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.

Oh way to go!!! That is awesome 👏 👏

Thank you so much! 😁

Thanks for visiting 😁

I agree!

Thank you 😊

Hi how are you

Send me any contact

The bigger they are, the easier they are

😂 thanks!

Thank you!

@@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?

Thank you!! 😁

Thank you! 😊 👍

@@ladyandtheramp ❤

I wish we had headsets as a whole team when pushing. Were you a trainer?

@@ladyandtheramp We did not have any formal training, unless it was the Crew Chief chewing out a bad push. As you know, in a bad push you do not end up where you should, on the taxiway centerline. And of course wide-bodies were easy because you can watch the gear's location during the whole push.

How many times did you look back and realize that a turn had been initiated and you were about to get hit by the side of the plane. Was very dangerous situation back then

Install the steering bypass pin next time

eres la más hermosa mujer conduciendo un push back I work airport on the mexico I am aircraft mechanic.regars

Thanks for coming 😁

@@ladyandtheramp Your welcome. I like your channel

That is a great place to watch the planes! Any other cool places you like to spot from?

@@ladyandtheramp My home airport is Paine Field PAE/KPAE. It's a regional airport but is home to Boeing's Everett widebody factory. So I see a lot of cool planes.

Thanks for the sub!

Thank you so much! I hope to see you on the ramp!

@@ladyandtheramp hey gonna be coming out to PHX on the 21st. Hope to see ya. A/C 3LT

Tudo Bem! 🇧🇷

Thank you 😊

@@ladyandtheramp your welcome!! I am terrible at pushing aircraft. I understand the concept of it just not patient enough to do it.

That is how a lot of my fellow employees feel as well 😂

@@ladyandtheramp It is definitely an art form that takes lots of practice but some are naturals.

I have loved learning about all the ins and outs!!

Thank you 🤗

I want to go with you !🤗🙈

Thank you!

I totally agree! 😁

😁

Thank you 😊

That is really awesome!! I would love to be in the front seat when you pushed one of those! 😁

@@ladyandtheramp it def takes some practice..they have 2 sets of nose gear..and 2 sets of rear gear..which also has crab capability.. Also has wing tip gear...pain in the butt...you'd enjoy it though..185 foot wing span...almost the same in nose to tail as well.. It can be tricky..

Thank you! 😁

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.

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.

Thank you!

Thank you! 😁

@@ladyandtheramp anytime

Glad you like them!

@ladyandtheramp definitely love planes

I appreciate it! 😁

Thank you so much 😊

Yes, you are correct! It is a more difficult push. The A30 gate is an end gate…so we have to go into the taxi way and then back into the alley way to disconnect.

Thank you 😁

Thank you!! 😁

Thank you so much!

@@ladyandtheramp you're welcome..Greetings from the Caribbean

Olá! 🇧🇷😁

Oh cool! I will have to look for you :)

@@ladyandtheramp do you have Facebook? Can I go into it?

You could do it!! I trained for several months and pushed over 50 times with a trained before venturing out on my own. There are lots of different components like you mentioned …the biggest one is not causing any type of aircraft damage. Every part of an aircraft, big or small, comes with a high ticket price. And then the plane goes out for maintenance which disrupts the flow of flights. I sure love pushing though! It has been so fun to learn this skill!

@@ladyandtheramp Well I give you all the credit in the world doing this job. Growing up in late 80s, 90s, we never had videos like this growing up. Thank God for youtube and people like you sharing these videos so if anyone is interested in doing this type of work, they can see first hand what it is like. Yes it is totally different in person but to see on video, you can kind of feel what it is like. Keep up the great work. Just for fun question, what do you do for fun when not working?
