Wonder how the tug driver is feeling today

What is it about the tug drivers and ground handlers at LAX? I'm not sure if its my imagination, and given that LAX is a very busy airport, it does seem to be over-represented in accidents of aircraft on the ground while under tug control. I think they all need to go back to school or have their qualifications looked at.

Or the design at the airport needs to be questioned.

It happened at JFK, not LAX.

The airport was fine when the biggest thing around was a 707. It's woefully inadequate for the size of modern aircraft.

I'm sure the tug driver missed his upgrade via FF points..... He was not kidding when he said "you wait"
