What about that was non-standard? I haven't seen any up close, but nothing jumped out at me as different than what I've seen from the boarding lounge.
Fantastic job Hun ❤ congratulation !!!😊
Curious. Did you have to get permission from American to film these while you work?
Ok
That was awesome. I’m a captain and on the receiving end of this for the last 12 years, 36 years of flying. I’ve always had a lot of respect for the skills to do this. Like backing a double jointed wagon, but also while coordinating the whole process. This young lady did a fantastic job and did it with a smile. American is lucky to have her on the ramp!
Well that is sure kind of you! I am grateful for great and kind pilots like you! It is amazing to see how everything (gates, pilots, ground, tower, etc…) all work together to keep this intricate system moving and most of the time…on time…getting passengers to their destinations. Connecting people all over the world!
@@ladyandtheramp you may not realize this, but the pilots are at a way more advantageous position to see outside because we are up higher, and being low to the ground for you looks very disorienting to me. But we can’t see anything at all behind us. That plane even though it’s just medium sized looks enormous from your perspective. Also, watching this again I was not aware that you don’t have continuous sight of the wingtips 😬. But you rocked it and stuck it right on the line with the mains centered. Again, nice work!
Back that Thang up girl!!😮😮
Reminds me of the pushes we did in Minneapolis. Back them up in a narrow alley, then do a 180. When I worked it DEN, though, we had straight pushes. A couple of gates had a slight turn, but it was pretty easy.
@@markg7963yeah, push back drivers really have to rely on the wing walkers, a lot.
From a guy who did countless pushbacks years ago, that was a very nice job, indeed. Thumbs up! 👍👍
Many thanks! 😁
Good push. I remember training one of our pushback drivers. She stood just barely 5' and was terrified to push an aircraft. I told her that she had to be at least trained and had to push one aircraft. We worked with her and she got signed off. By the time she was promoted she was the smoothest operator that we had and the crews would request her specifically when they had a complicated push.
Oh what a cool story!! Good for her! And way to keep encouraging her!! 😁

As a trainer can you show any SOP of using the horn on a very noisy ramp instead of hand signals
First time I see the pushback from that angle ... Thanks and cheers!
Cheers! 😁
What you do helps me get to work almost weekly. I am self employed. Would not be able to commute to work without you. Thank you so much.
A trio of AA ladies doing a great job....big smiles ...love it and from the greatest airport.
Thank you so much!!😁
I worked ramp service in San Diego for Alaska Airlines (ATS) Airport Terminal Service back in 2000-2001. It was the best and had a blast doing that job. After 9/11 the whole industry changed and there were major cutbacks. But it was super fun while it lasted. The flight benefits were clutch too. Much respect.
I totally agree! I love the job and love the benefits! Thanks for sharing! 😁
39 yrs of doing that for AA at JFK and LGA.Nice push. Brought back good memories.
Glad to hear it 😁
It takes a lot of ground based Professionals to get a craft into the air. This is one of those talented Professionals. Well done.
Thank you 😁
I don’t know why this showed up in my algorithm, but I can’t stop watching them.
😁
That was a great pushback! In all my years as a commercial pilot, I had never been able to see it from the tug driver's point-of-view. Wing-walkers are obviously indispensable! I figure that the push to spot Kilo-three was given either by ramp or ground control. My guess is that it probably happens routinely. At IAH, there are several gates that are tricky to park at, or be pushed back out of. My hat's off to a very underrated and under-appreciated part of the crew!🙂
The push clearance actually was given to the pilot by the tower. There was traffic in the alleyway that we normally push to on the East side. So they had us do a “non-standard” push to the East side to Kilo 3. Thank you so much for your comments and appreciation! We appreciate you all as well! 😁
As a pilot, do you think that is a safe type of pushback compared to a straight back unhook,depart or one turn unhook,depart?
@@davidsmiths5471 That pushback, just as it was accomplished, IMHO was a safe & efficient operation -- all participants ensured that the area that the aircraft was being pushed into was clear of obstructions .
Naturally, with a greater pushback distance, especially around the busy terminal area, does carry more risk, than just a simple push-and-go.
The key factor, again IMHO, is the wing-walkers, who are the tug driver's safety net against clipping a wing tip, or running into a catering truck. Without them, it could not be done, safely.
@@ladyandtheramp I wasn't sure if PHX had adopted a dedicated Ramp Control, like we have at IAH.
When we parked at the old Terminal 2, we just gave Ground Control a "pushback advisory" call, since we were technically in a "non-movement" area, that they didn't control.
As soon as we moved into the northside terminal, we were advised to call Ground, for clearance before pushback. I don't know if that's changed, since I retired four years ago.
Keep up the good work!
@@boeingpilot7002 Your not running for mayor in your town? But great response not to offend anyone. And what Boeing product do you fly if I may ask?
I always loved the salute. It was always just cool to me that final exchange before the adventure.
Me too! 😁
One of the best push backs ive seen
Thank you 😁
Wow. That takes serious skill. You nailed it all the while making it look effortless. We all take "pushback" for granted. This sheds a whole new perspective and appreciation for the skill and attention required. And all the while, a great smile. Lol
Great job!
Thanks for sharing.
Ben
Thanks a ton! 😁
Talk about huge responsibility!!!! Wow!! Amazing job..like backing a trailer facing it
😁
*I like her smiling nature.* 😁
*She obviously loves her job!*
Wow very cool 😃😊. You look very happy to be on the job and that’s what I like seeing ! People enjoying what they do 🤙
Thank you 😁
Great job, on the pushbacks! That takes some wicked skill. As a truck driver, I'm kinda envious. Your videos are always fun to watch.
Oh cool! I remember my Dad always wanting to drive big semi trucks! That takes lot of skill!!
Thanks for watching! 😁
That’s some mighty fine wheeling right thar. Getting that beast lined up, and the rear bogies entered at the same time. That’s skill I tell ya.
You’ve got me hooked
Centered, not entered. LOL. Fat finger syndrome
Thank you so much 😁
A job that requires a lot of skill. Very cool. Working while smiling also makes all the difference.
😁
I have trouble just backing out of my driveway!
@@RLTtizME 😂😂😂 same
And steered perfectly to the center-line at the holding point. 5 star.
Thank you! 😁
Great job! And then seeing how some people are struggling parking their caravan...
Great to see the enthusiasm!
Thank you 😁
Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see it from your perspective.
I grew up in Mesa and was the first-ever college intern at America West Airlines in 1990. After graduation, I spent six months working on the ramp at T-3. T-4 was under construction and the last thing I did was take an orientation tour about a week before it opened.
I returned to PHX in 2000 and spent five years as ATC in the now-demolished control tower. I’ve had the birds-eye view of those long end-around pushes but haven’t seen it from the ground.
Oh that is cool! We have a lot of tampers that were from the America West days. They said those were great times! Thanks for sharing!
Don’t care what anyone says, that job requires serious coordination and communication skills. Much respect.
No sub!
Thank you 😁
Nice work! Smooth and precise!
Thanks a lot! 😁
dang. that is some real driving skills there! centered on the line and no hesitation throughout.
Oh thank you! 😁
I drove Ukes in the USAF as a Crewchief moving KC-135's and B-1B bombers, i've got to say you did it like a pro !
Oh that would be so cool! How fun! And thank you 😁
What a beautiful smile such a happy lady.
Thank you 😁
I needed that smile today thank you a bad time right now.@@ladyandtheramp
From AMARC with a job well done! Always love these types of ramp videos lol.
Thanks! 👍
That sure is a pretty smile and a cool job that you have. It looks like you're very good at what you do and take a lot of pride in it as well.
I drive an 80-foot tractor trailer for a living.
Watching you push back those huge / massive multi-million dollar air busses kind of reminds me of my gig, only quadrupled in size and responsibility.
You are very skilled and precise!
Oh you have a cool job too! That is awesome! 😁
So clever, I've no idea how you keep such excellent control, very impressive, I struggle to reverse into my driveway !!!
😁😂
i miss this. haven't worked the ramp in 3 years. great job.
Thank you 😁
Holy, that's insane! Awesome work
Thanks a ton! 😁
Just been recommended this channel and it looks fascinating to watch
The 'shave and a haircut' horn made me laugh
Gonna binge watch a few vids
That was cool to watch and hear. Authentic airport sounds are so much better than music. Awesome job!
Thanks…that is what we were told on one if the videos we put music on 😂
Something very routine to me…others appreciate :)
Lol it can fly, you didn't have to push it all the way to the destination lol awesome vid! Subscribed for sure
😂😂Thanks for the sub!
Great job! Very obviously not your first rodeo! I loved doing pushbacks, and it made my day if I did it smoothly enough to get a comment from the cockpit crew.
Isn’t that the best!! You feel all proud 😂
Brilliant...loving your work...best wishes....Graham UK
Many thanks! 😁
Love watching your videos! As a former ramper my self and now pilot. Starting training with AAL next month hopping for the A320. Whenever I hit the line and happen to be in PHX I'll stop by to say hello. Great work!!
No one cares that you're a "pilot." 🤦
Congratulations!! So do you train for a specific aircraft? We have lots of A320’s come in and out of PHX! Good luck! 😁
@@ladyandtheramp yes, new hires have 2 options, 737 or A320 only. Takes about 5 years to touch a 787 or 777.
as a dude who couldn't push a uhaul trailer in reverse in a secluded parking lot, this was incredible! front gear stuck right on the center line! cool watch. #PHX.
Thank you!! 😁👍
Just came across this, fascinating to see. Nice that you're able to do a critical job with a smile. Having been forced to learn how to back a 5th wheel w/ trailer, I can appreciate the incredible amount of practice and accomplishment you've mastered to perform with such precision. Thank you for sharing.
Yes…backing up that 5th wheel can be so challenging! Thank you 😊
She's so professional. Line up very straight. Amazing wemen's job.
Thank you! 😁
Great job, and always with a beautiful smile on your face. That's how things must be done lady 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!😁

Thank you so much! 😁
thank for your job and your smile
Oh thank you! 😁
nice driving, smooth, no back and forth on the towbar. Keep the videos rolling.
Thanks 👍
You made my day better, cheerful and happy girl who loves her job.
Thank you! 😁
Pushes around commercial airliners all day, then gets stuck behind a Prius in I-10 traffic...
So true!
You have the coolest job in the world
I think so too! Thank you 😁
I think she is doing a lot to make her job the coolest in the world, by loving it.
This is so cool and satisfying..I usually wonder how it is done and since I live in Phoenix and fly out of sky harbor I'm very happy 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with watching your videos. I’m just mesmerized at how you move these huge planes around. Did you work on a large farm or go to a school for this… you young lady have my full undivided attention !! Bravo to your skill level, you make it look easy !🤜🏼🤛🏼
Oh I am so glad you like them!! Thank you for watching!
And I did have a farm…but it was a small hobby farm 😁
Mad professionalism! Incredible skill! Thank you for this awesome video!
Thank you 😊
That is amazing how on earth did she do that, respect to her, well done.
Thank you 😊
Love your channel name and love your smile. Can tell you are naturally happy person. I work at an airport too and I enjoy my job there as well. It is a rare place to work at.
Thank you so much! 😁
that was like watching an artist paint a masterpiece amazing work and skill
Oh that is so kind! 😁
I've done that! It was so much fun. Thank you for sharing 😊
Awesome! 👍😁
I worked for AA for 21 years and I am surprised they let you do this channel, LoL, they hate everything.
Hi Lady. Both of my parents worked at Eastern Airlines so Im an aviation kid. Lol Im 57. Great job made it look easy so I subscribed 😊
Awesome! Thank you! 😁
Did you grow up “non-revving”?
That looks a lot more fun than my crap job. Their not likely to give me a liner certificate to fly hundreds but I would still like to work around aircraft. ATC is too high stress, responsability, and risk to life and limb of others but pushback... never thought about that, but it would probably be what I enjoy most besides flying the actual things. Still get to move them! And often people with that job move them around empty too and have to start-up the cockpit, I'd love that.
It is a great job! 😁👍
Seriously girl, you're cooler than any female pilot I've seen on RUclips!
Oh wow! That is quite a compliment :) ❤️😊
Thank you!
WoW 😊😊😊. I'm totally impressed. I live here in phoenix, Arizona. What an awesome job you did 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much!😊
Amazes me how these things can push huge planes with ease.
I think so too! They are slow (really low geared) but super strong 💪 😁
Very nice job .Well done . Good luck
Thank you very much! 😁
She is a bad ass!!! Much respect!!! And she pretty
Thanks!
Just came across your videos, absolutely brilliant! Please keep them coming 😊
Oh thank you so much! 😁
She protec, she attac but most of all she pushes you back.
😁
American Airlines. We save money by driving halfway to your destination
😂😂
Well, that was a marathon! Great job. Reminded me of pushing L-1011’s off gate 61 of the old terminal 1 at Toronto when I worked for Air Transat.
That is cool!
Just awesome. And great smile kid!
Thank you 😁
@@ladyandtheramp anytime
Great respect to you! Great video, thanks for not using music! 😊
😁
Interesting perspective. Totally different from backing trailers...Two pivot points, and a big arse plane to boot! LOL. Great work!
Thank you! 😁
I am now a subscriber. I guess it makes sense to do that, as I am sub'd to a couple of pilots' channels. It is good to see how things get done before it goes up in the air.
I like that you didn't mute the outside noise and more importantly, you don't have any 'background' music playing. Never add music to a video unless it's a dance or music video. Part of the enjoyment of these type of videos is seeing and hearing what the host is seeing and hearing.
What made this a non-standard pushback? Not that I know the procedures for a standard one, so it's all new to me.
Thanks.
Very well done you made that look easier than it really is.
Thanks 👍 😁
最後のパイロットとの挨拶がめちゃカッコいい！！
Just got here, the channel name is just perfect, made me laugh and i haven't even seen the video.
😂thank you!
I really admire the work you do and the passion out into it. ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
I'm from Scotland and was in Phoenix in febuary had a great time 👍
Oh hello!! I am glad you enjoyed it! It should have been great weather:)
My family is going to Scotland is August! 😁👋
@@ladyandtheramp Yeah it was great weather just missed all the rain you guys had. Oh have a great time in Scotland and i hope the weather here is good to you.
Thank you!
Good job. Perfect pushback. Congratulations. 👋👋👋
Thank you! 😁
That was one long push back
Yes it was! 😁
I can already see a man losing his "man card" at a boat ramp in Lake Havasu when she backs a boat from the hotel parking lot to the water in one shot without a single pull-up........
😂😂
This lady knows her job l pull a horsebox and reversing is not easy l think l will put a tow ball on the front of my truck and push the horesbox into place 😊
Thank you 😁
You made this look easy! Great driving skills
I worked for AA from 94-00 in DEN. Brings back memories. Make sure you get the pin! 😄. ❤
That is near! I can’t imagine working in the snow! 😯
Congratulations my fair Lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sons too working in Athens Airport
Oh wow! That is cool! 👋😁

🥰🥰😁
That was so awesome. Subscribed 🙏 ❤️.
Welcome aboard! 😁
Nice job, it brings back memories of when I did the exact same thing as you for the local airport, the best experience I ever had was marshalling in AirForce1 with obviously the president being on board, I had the command to send them off as well
Wow! That is amazing! What a cool experience 😁
That smile! :D WOW
All my love for those of you that help get our flights started and ended right!
Thank you so much! 😁👍
WOW! Like A BOSS! You did that so well Lady. Service with a beautiful smile. I LIKE IT
🤗
You are so inspiring! I hope one day I can work with a smile like you do.
Oh thank you! I am sure you have a lovely smile too 😁
Holy cow. 10/10!!
Thank you 😊

Beautiful pushback! 👍👍
Thank you! 😊
That was slick. I wouldn't be able to do that without a lot of practice.
😁thank you!!
