      Thought the same thing. Even after the first "no", they then got back with "they're advising that there's plenty of room", and the pilot stood their ground. Some minutes later when the vehicle got there they confirmed the pilot's perception of no room for a right turn.

      @@catguy00 Thrust reverse redirects the normal thrust forward instead of rearward, but that's not the issue. The engine is still sucking in tons of air from in front of the plane, and everything on the ground in front of the plane, into the engine. Reverse thrust is used on landing on a "clean" runway to help slow the airplane (in addition to brakes and lift-spoiling devices), but using reverse thrust is discontinued at (typically) 60 knots--about the time the airplane is ready to exit the runway onto a taxiway. TL;DR--using enough reverse thrust to move a loaded airplane backwards on a taxiway is a needlessly dumb thing to do--especially when your need for doing so isn't your fault, or your reasons for doing so is to be "super helpful."

    Fun facts about Greater Cincinnati International Airport:
    1) It’s not even in Ohio, let alone Cincinnati. It’s initialism CVG comes from Covington, Kentucky, which is approximately five miles east-northeast of the airport. If named today, it’s abbreviation would like be based off of the city of Hebron - possibly HEB, although that sign is taken by a regional airport in Burma.
    2) It is run by the Kenton County Airport Board, even though the airport lies entirely with Boone County (does border Kenton County)
    3) CVG is DHL’s largest cargo hub globally.
    4) Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers died in a cabin fire incident which required his plane land at CVG. Though the majority of passengers died, some passengers and all crew survived.
    5) Every time I fly through CVG it takes no more than thirty minutes from the time I walk through the door until my butt is in my seat by my gate. Incredibly smooth operation.

      Delta used to do powered pushbacks from the gate when they were flying the MD88s.

Even then, I think they only did this when they were parked at the end gates which have more space around them.

      as reverse thrust is highly inefficient, fuel costly and has so little power.

    I've seen this happen at KFWA. It had been raining a lot so to get a tug around the aircraft they had to run out and purchase sheets of plywood to lay down in the grass off the taxiway so the tug could drive around the aircraft, total time to undo the nose to nose situation 6 hours. The cargo company awarded the two controllers a golden towbar award which the rest of controllers to thoroughly harass the two offenders.

    I have seen the mad dogs and 727s use reverse thrust and back up out of the gate at some airports in the past with just a man standing in front of the plane plugged into the intercom port in in the nose. Are they no longer able to do that with today’s planes? When I was a little kid, we were on a 707 at a gate at Love Field in Texas and they pulled to far forward into the gate, and used reverse thrust to nudge the plane back into the correct parking position. As a little kid, I loved it! Hearing those engines wind up a tad, then watching the wing spoilers pop up when he stepped on the brake or what ever. They repeated the process about 3 times before they were satisfied and shut everything down. Will never forget that event.

    Looked to me like the Envoy wanted a wing walker to use his reversers to back up a little.
    He almost used them earlier, but not being able to see past the wings behind him is a huge risk he rightfully didn't want to take.

      the only difference: pilots do wait and figure out a solution with everybody involved. walmart customers on a parking lot would most likely just start shooting at each other until one is "right" :D
