We call it a "power back." Besides the 9, the only other aircraft that can power back is a 727. Sometimes it is quicker to powerback rather than wait for a tug to push back. A note of interest - the old Metro Wayne County Airport in DTW (may it burn to the ground!) did not allow for power backs. Too congested.
