I saw a first yesterday on a flight out of BWI. The pilot used thrust reversers to back out of the gate. I don't usually pay attention to how we're backing out, but I was wondering why the engines were running up so high right next to the building...then we just backed out. Anyone else ever seen this?</font>
Yep...seen them do it in the past at BWI...lately every DC-9 flight I've had out of DTW's new terminal has done it
