AI6YR BenI wonder if these poor people are still on that plane.
ORD to SEA, arrived at 8:28pm, but not at a gate. Just... sitting there.
Ooof, a plane at Portland also still on a taxiway. They don't have a gate they can pull into without a computer?!?!
Chuck@ai6yr I always wonder if they could off board people with those portable switchback ramps ...
Sean Reynolds@ChuckMcManis @ai6yr certainly they COULD offboard people that way, you may notice the pictured ramps pass in front of the jet engines, could someone make a mistake and suck everyone into the engine? Generally it’s best to design things such that no matter how bad a decision someone makes, it’s not a fatal one.
@saltbaygull @ChuckMcManis Having recently gotten off a plane like that (past the engine), they use those ramps at small airports. Engines must be shut off.
