So your fine with fake walk around! See if you respect the safety of the passengers, rampers and the crew! Please let people what airlines you fly for!
@@davidsmiths5471 ....wtf are you talking about? The ramp's walk around? Do you think they're doing a preflight walk around or something? They're walk around is to ensure all doors and panels are closed, chocks are pulled, and maybe catch any leaking fluids or something obvious. Not sure what that has to do with my comment though.
As I have been pushing planes back for over 10 years, I have had many flight deck crews ask me to speed up, push faster, as so on. I work in ATL...... I usually start pretty slow and speed up as I continue to push. But sadly with some of the equipment we have some of the push back tugs dont work very well, and when pushing slow, is when I get asked to speed up
Student pilot here, appreciate your work! This looks really delicate and with safety and precision in mind.. you must be a professional at reverse parking with a trailer! :)
this was awesome! I always make sure to let the pushback driver know I appreciate the smooth pushback when we get them, because they definitely are not all this smooth! Nice work! Hope to talk to you on the ramp someday soon
I only learned several years ago that this is how planes back up! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing! You have an awesome job! But it’s still strange to me how something so little can push something so large!
To see the differences between companies is crazy. At the airline I’m at, mechanics are on the headset, pushbacks are rougher (there are no passengers), and we start right (Boeing), 2 (airbus), or 3 (MD) first. Awesome job my guy. Keep up the great videos.
Great...you made it! I work for Global Aviation Services here on Okinawa Japan. We service all Boeing 7 series and Airbus 320's on a military installation. 30 yrs combine Military and civilian experience as a technician. Once again Great Job and glasd you made it to the flightline!
Ramp agents unite! Ya making it look easy out there! An incredible video man! (As always!) Actually completed my first two days of work on the ramp at my local airport this past weekend. Absolutely loving it! Also congrats on 29k my man! 😎👍🏻
Hi buddy i would love to find a job doing this, is it actually a school to go to learn it? how would i learn to do this job bro? thanks in advance for the info
@@omarlopez-uf4yp I’m no longer working this job, however I can tell you that it’s pretty simple to obtain. For me, all I had to do was find a ramp agent position on Indeed, another job finding website, or even the website of the airline you wish to work for. You’ll apply, perhaps get an interview, and if you are hired, you are sent to your airline’s training facility for a few days to be trained, tested, and certified as a ramp agent. Not sure if Blu’s experience was similar to mine but hope this gives you some idea of the process involved. My advice for new ramp agents: once on the job, always ask questions and always listen to your fellow agents, they are your guides. a lot of your training and experience will come by watching, and doing, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
@@RealNoGear One last question my bro, because the job I would like is Aircraft Marshalling and Ramp Hand signals, is there any difference between ramp agent and ramp hand signals when applying for the job? Would you need to take any extra course for hand signals? thank you very much for your help brother
Great work man! I so appreciate what you do as an airside worker who just LOVES driving airside doing fuelups and other jobs. Kinda surprised that you gave the pilot the green light to fire up the engines with you still turning, and potentially in the "suction path" still? I guess things are at relatively low revs initially.
Cool to see the usa version of pushing. Wing walkers and the tug driver on the headset doesn’t happen over here. We have a guy to block the road and a headset man thats me. And we aim to get it on the line. But you guys have the luxury of the weather and open top tugs
Awesome team work procedures! Thank you to you, and the team, to help all flights to get into the air by first safely pushing flights back, so that planes have the less stress to do that on their own....and safety reasons near the terminal. God Bless, Safe and HAPPY work!
I work with frontier in Puerto Rico, and the only error I see here is the pin that is loose, it can get tangled, here we give it a try (always remember SAFETY)
I am about to start training for this because our company is passing the push back duties to the Ramp Agents from AC MX. Biggest plane we have is the 777-200F
Hi Blu. Just came across this video. Reminds me off when I did push backs and towing at Gatwick England. I was about your age when I started. Like you I love the job. Thanks for bringing back some good memories buddy. Keep up the good content 👍👍👍
Hi ! Good job, but i felt that at the end of pushback the braking was bit hard cause I saw the tractor shaking a bit, but it was good, though i have retired three years back as a pushback/ towing operator i still love my job, i started in 1987 and last i was a trainer too both with towbar/ towbarless, i could push in reverse too, but you did a good job, keep it up.
Nice job. I didn’t see the line you were trying to hit. I like that you only had one person walking out with you. I push for UPS and I can’t tell you how many times I sit in the tug and watch TWO employees fighting each other while disconnecting the bar
Great video! Great commenting! You speak when needed and be quiet so we can enjoy the sounds of the environment. First video I see from you! Loved it! God bless you!
Hey! Work Ramp for UA at IAH. Just became a Ramp lead and learning to pushback with towbar and Lektros. Why do y'all disconnect the towbar from the tug first? We just disconnect from the aircraft and drive back to the gate with the towbar still on tractor.
Yoo just came back to let you know after watching this video gave me the confidence to start pushing I pushed 5 planes today 3 narrow bodies and 2 widebodys and I loved every bit of it
Awesome video. I just got accepted into a traineeship to do this amongst other ground tasks and my training starts in April. So excited and great to see a POV.
Glad to see another one of these videos. Pretty cool job, but comes with a lot of responsibility. One slip up could cost millions of dollars. Would you like to operate on widebodies one day?
Marcus broooooooooo whats up. I miss u to man! Glad you are holding this down at hobby! Theres no one more qualified then you. And how the heck did you find this video lol
Awesome stuff! I love the engine spooling up! What airport is this? Looks like TIA! I guess your job is not so good on stormy days??? More like this please!!!👍👍👍
How do you do a walk around with the jet bridge attached to the aircraft! And there are no SOPs for Frontier for using the horn! Hand signals are used for a reason!!
This is so awesome dude, loving this series!
4:25 that you? ;)
@@maxi14437 last I checked cap lived in Ottawa soz
Yall stupid lol haha
Yo thanks man!!
Great push! As a captain, you don't know how many times I get drivers that don't understand to push gently. We appreciate smooth pushes like this!
Will do my best
thats what i tell to my colleages...i die a little inside everytime i hear the towbar crack noises due to high speed, sudden turns and hard braking
So your fine with fake walk around! See if you respect the safety of the passengers, rampers and the crew! Please let people what airlines you fly for!

Thanks to guys like you and many others, I'm now a retired pilot. You and all the other staff made my job safe and secure. 👍
Our pleasure! Thanks for your service
Worked operations (quarterback of airport) did pushbacks-rode brakes......all the fun stuff for 38 years........loved it.........
I been wanting be a brake rider!
@@BluGames Riding brakes is running APU and talking to tower follow directions.......lotta fun tho
had an advantage in being a private pilot on the brakes, so used to talking to tower.
This give a completely new perspective on how airports work! Thanks for sharing
Yea it does. Thanks for watching
I love how the pilot waved at you, such a nice move.
Yea the crew was pretty nice
@@BluGames awesome!! 😎
Student pilot here, appreciate your work! This looks really delicate and with safety and precision in mind.. you must be a professional at reverse parking with a trailer! :)
My only experience before this was American truck simulator lol
this was awesome! I always make sure to let the pushback driver know I appreciate the smooth pushback when we get them, because they definitely are not all this smooth! Nice work! Hope to talk to you on the ramp someday soon
Man i would be honored to! Im looking forward to it
I can imagine that pushing back with passengers is much different. Working in cargo, I didn't have to worry about being as gentle.
Oh yea pax and crew can feel everything lol
i love people that love their job ♥ .. God bless you too
I love people that bless people! God Bless you!
Blu loving these airport vlogs man, all I could think of was real A32nx!
Looks and sounds exactly like it
I only learned several years ago that this is how planes back up! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing! You have an awesome job! But it’s still strange to me how something so little can push something so large!
Haha well thanks for watching!! It looks small but its very heavy and strong. Its basically a tractor
This was amazing! Thanks for posting. Now we need to get some Blu audio for pushback in MSFS. Blu on the tug and V1 in the plane would make it epic!!
Workin on it 😉
To see the differences between companies is crazy. At the airline I’m at, mechanics are on the headset, pushbacks are rougher (there are no passengers), and we start right (Boeing), 2 (airbus), or 3 (MD) first. Awesome job my guy. Keep up the great videos.
Yea the differences are very interesteting between companies
You job sounds pretty cook tho
@@BluGames if you ever make it to Louisville let me know, might be able to get you in and see our operation.
Thats actually possible. I have a coworker in KSDF for the week, and its possible I could be sent there also in the future
So happy to see you doing something you love Blu!
Appreciate it man
Great...you made it! I work for Global Aviation Services here on Okinawa Japan. We service all Boeing 7 series and Airbus 320's on a military installation. 30 yrs combine Military and civilian experience as a technician. Once again Great Job and glasd you made it to the flightline!
Very cool and thank you
I just stated working at BWI as a ramp agent. 3 weeks in training. This out off other duties look the most intimidating.
Was the most intimidating for me too. But i love it now
You got photobombed at 3:20! Love the video.
Yea i did hahah!
This is absolutely fantastic. Very special to see your job from this perspective. Thanks for this!
Thanks for watching
Flashbacks to 94-96 Ramper at KCMH for America West. Ramping funnest Job ever!
It can be alot of fun!! I bet the airport was alot different back in 94
Ramp agents unite! Ya making it look easy out there! An incredible video man! (As always!) Actually completed my first two days of work on the ramp at my local airport this past weekend. Absolutely loving it! Also congrats on 29k my man! 😎👍🏻

Wow! You such did a great job! Follow the Captain instructions. When they are ready for pushback.
got to see a sneak peak of this a fee weeks back, nice seeing the full footage.
Yea man!
Man, the "Ramp Agent Appreciation Month" should be a thing, love from Italy!
That would be cool lets start that! Lol whats up Italy
I did this for 10 years but on the private side. and I wish there was a ramp agent month! we all work so hard out there!
Especially on holidays and when short handed
Applied as a ramp agent, excited love airplanes
Great i hope you enjoy it!
@@BluGames, how long did you have to wait to get your badge. In the process of waiting for my Badge
Took me. A few weeks. Some people its faster and some longer. Depends on your history
I love watching your dreams rendering in real time! Definitely more 💪🏾🙌🏾
Still just getting started lol
Great work man! I so appreciate what you do as an airside worker who just LOVES driving airside doing fuelups and other jobs. Kinda surprised that you gave the pilot the green light to fire up the engines with you still turning, and potentially in the "suction path" still? I guess things are at relatively low revs initially.
As long as i dont cross the “unemployment line” the red line on the aircraft im still safe from the engine
@@BluGames My unemployment line is white/red/white lines on the Apron/two way roads etc! I could never do what you do as a total muppet at backing LoL
I can imagine how that can be very nerve racking especially if it's your first time pushing back an aircraft and you can't make any mistakes
VERRY!! But you gotta suck it up do what u were trained to do

Man I could watch these videos all day! One of these days I'll be on that flight deck working with you guys. What a great channel.
Thanks so much. Yes you will
"Do It Again! Do It Again! Do It Again!" Love it! More, more, more please!

Love airplanes man!! You Got the best view in the house👌
The BEST view yea!!
The better view might be from the crane of a de-icing truck
Cool stuff! I work for a company that does Frontier Ramp aswell and tomorrow is my first day pushing back, and going to loadmaster class
Cool!! Just take your time pushing, it just takes practice. You will get better with experience. I also enjoyed working as loadmaster
Some captains would have said "put me on the line" or "the line is nowhere around here".

Go for it!!
You’ll love it!! Best job ever
Indeed! Thanks!!
Those beautiful CFM Engines are so Amazing!!!
Yeaa
Great video. I’m starting my pushback training next week. Kinda nervous so this video helped. Thanks
are u a ramp agent? how’s the training like? like what type of training did you do first? i’ve been wanting to quit my current job for a ramp agent
Training is really easy, just gotta pay drug check and background check
Blu I can’t get enough of these ramp videos!! Congratulations and keep them coming!
Thank you so much! I hope you are doing well!

Yes i agree
So cool! As I pilot myself, I really appreciate all you guys do!
Heyyy thats cool. Well thank you so much and i appreciate and respect you also
@@BluGames No problem!
Nice job. I didn’t see the line you were trying to hit. I like that you only had one person walking out with you. I push for UPS and I can’t tell you how many times I sit in the tug and watch TWO employees fighting each other while disconnecting the bar

Thank you so much glad u liked it! Bless u too
I would lobe your job, thanks for sharing!
Finally a channel with great audio and video quality. Nice job.
I'm a new ramp agent and push the 737s.
I remember those days. I miss them
this is sweet. just got in my recommended. loving it, make more!
I've pushed out that same exact plane before! love it!
Oh really! Thats cool!
@@BluGames pushed it out at RDU!
Just wow, love it. Nice little tutorial.
Haha thanks bro
Cool as an iceberg!!!! Lovin this! “Congratulations blu”
Hey man thanks alot Brian
Hey! Work Ramp for UA at IAH. Just became a Ramp lead and learning to pushback with towbar and Lektros. Why do y'all disconnect the towbar from the tug first? We just disconnect from the aircraft and drive back to the gate with the towbar still on tractor.
Honestly i dont know.. extra safety i guess. Most of our procedures are due to other people screwing up in the past lol
@@BluGames Sounds like us as well. Things change when something bad happens.
@@BluGames What do you use to mount your camera or phone to the pushback for videos? I need to get one.
Keep em coming!! Always love watching the ramp vids!
Yea thanks Aron
Yoo just came back to let you know after watching this video gave me the confidence to start pushing I pushed 5 planes today 3 narrow bodies and 2 widebodys and I loved every bit of it
HUGE congrats thats amazing! Proud of u.
Keep them coming, love these ground ops videos.
Thanks so much ill work on it
Awesome video. I just got accepted into a traineeship to do this amongst other ground tasks and my training starts in April. So excited and great to see a POV.
Very Interesting Blu and Great Video!
We want more of this!!!
Haha thanks Jett
Miss those days!
Yea
I liked seeing it
More to that than you think
Understand more now
well thanks
You need to do more of these!
Workin on it lol
Yeah I am loving this too! This is AWESOME!
Thank you glad you like it
fun seeing a pushback from the ground.
Thanks for watching
Glad to see another one of these videos. Pretty cool job, but comes with a lot of responsibility. One slip up could cost millions of dollars. Would you like to operate on widebodies one day?
I would love to
Looks like IAH - loved the explanations!
Yes it is and thank you
this was awesome and super smooth... well done
Thanks so much
Thats a cool Frontier Plane
IAH for the win
Look forward to seeing you in the cockpit when I walk on for a flight.
Someday my friend
Great video. Thanks for sharing this, Be Safe!
Thanks for watching! Will do
Great job BLU👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I miss working with you guys. I'm loving it at Hobby though.
Marcus broooooooooo whats up. I miss u to man! Glad you are holding this down at hobby! Theres no one more qualified then you. And how the heck did you find this video lol
Cool, just began pb training a few days ago. Seem to have picked it up well.
Nice video and i agree its a cool lil job.
Thats great! Enjoy
So jealous! I’d love to do that job….just awesome!
Try it. Go apply
very cool! Maybe a little stressful pushing those birds around. How is flight training? Sup?
Its goin slowly
what a sick job. more of these vids for sure
Sparkos whats up!! Thanks man
Good job does the Boeing 727 100 use the same tug bar as the 737
Definitely don't push back like that in the UK! They want us OUT of there 🤣👍 Great job, all the best and loving this series
Lol thanks haha
Those P&W Neo engines though
Yeaaa ❤️❤️❤️
bro this is dope man im loving them keep them coming make me want to go back fueling too miss the ramp life
Giooooo thanks bro
Awesome dude!! AWESOME!!! Thanks for this!!!
Hey Amechi thanks my friend
Doing any job with full satiscation are good job for us.
Being an ALA and ops agent for Delta I can totally relate. #belowwing 🤘🏻✈️
Man that's so cool, i would love to do this one day too.
Yea you should give it a try if you can
I need to make my way to Terminal A and find that fine ebony ramp agent
This is the most hilarious commebt i have read all day. Come thru bro!
Awesome stuff! I love the engine spooling up! What airport is this? Looks like TIA! I guess your job is not so good on stormy days??? More like this please!!!👍👍👍
We work in all weather conditions so it can get interesting
KIAH
So Awesome!
Yea thank you so much
What's the by pass pin? Orange cable is for audio only?
Yes orange cable is for audio. Bypass pin is too small to see from this distance but its attached yo the red flag
Man…I swear, if I didn’t have back issues. I’d totally love to do this job at KOAK. 😩
Its fun but not worth the injury
This is awesome stuff, one thing I don't get to experience as a line service tech out of an FBO
I bet you tow around alot of planes
@@BluGames oh we do, just not while their engines are staring ;)
Yesyesyesyes more
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This is super cool! Looking forward to more!
Thanks so much Chad
Dope video. Just starting at airport doing lav and water. Never knew what this job was called. I have to look into it.
Definitely keep it going bro. Love the push backs!!! 💯 🔥
Preciate it man
Great video man, yes such a cool job when the sun is out.
When the wing walkers come up for disconnect, how do they avoid ingestion into the engine? Like, how do they walk to the nose of the aircraft?
WTG! Keep the behind scenes coming!
How do you do a walk around with the jet bridge attached to the aircraft! And there are no SOPs for Frontier for using the horn! Hand signals are used for a reason!!
