The Greeks clearly altered the position of the jetbridge in retaliation for
Jenifer Lopez's concert in Turkish Cypress.



Since this is a Turkish airline, I think we can safely assume that the pilots
messed up. Indeed, if the jet bridge was not incorrectly positioned, there
aren't too many other possibilities.

I'm surprised that passengers were willing to wait for a later flight on the
same carrier, instead of simply switching airlines.

Some may be Turkish, and feel theirs are the best pilots. Others may simply
not share your strong cultural and racial prejudices.

It may be different in France, but most places I've been to, including
Italy, have ground personnel directing the pilots until the airplane
is on a taxi way and away from that kind of interference. Most often
there's a push back from the gate, isn't there? The judge and jury is
probably still out, except here.
