You don't have to be a hero! He'll be hearing from his union soon enough.

"So, where exactly is 'stop a 737 from sliding across the tarmac on ice using only my gloved hands' to be found in your job description George?"

Well, as you can see they didn't have a tug hooked up. This guy normally just shoves the plane outta the gate.

They could use this guy to pull it in;

What they save on tug expense might be lost in dental costs...

Rather impressive. He had that 320 moving at a healthy clip, especially considering it was with his freaking teeth.

I was thinking the crew could screw with and drag the brakes just a bit Then again if he found out about it, he might literally take a bite out of somebody's behind.

Was the relief FO at Heathrow preflighting the cockpit of a 777 before departure. A/C was parked at gate with tail directly into 60-65kt sustained steady winds.

It was a continuous mix of light and moderate chop while at the gate the entire time. About puked my guts out at the gate and I don't get airsick.

It finally dropped below 50kts sustained for takeoff. Really cool, full 777 for 10.5 hour flight and the mains broke ground about 3000' down runway (max/max power)
