The Safety Minute will be enforced by our stewards and safety stewards.
SM-01: The (AOA) Aircraft Operations Area is a very busy and dangerous work environment and extra precautions must be adhered to on the movement of aircraft. We are telling our members not to deviate from the gate push back diagrams, even if requested by the flight deck or at the direction of the tower traffic planner. A safe aircraft push is one that strictly follows the push diagram. NOT following the push diagram could lead to disciplinary action by the company.
Safety on the ground leads to safety in the air…………………….
Be Safe
