YEP! From the left seat side of the towbar, you wait to be told what to do and when to do it. And you don't move until you get the salute/wave from the ground crew. Thank goodness no one was injured, or worse.
Did u hear that?? Idk what’s that noise???? Hmmmm yeah let’s keep moving forward….
Those two pilots would’ve been eaten by dinosaurs

Well, they certainly don’t make pilots like they used to, that’s for sure! I cringe every time when I listen to them on frequency while they taxi in my ground-based job now. After 22 plus years in the air all over the globe!…..ð¤¦♂️ð¤¦♂️ð¤·ð¼♂️ð¤·ð¼♂️
That’ll buff right out. Just a little Bondo, 100 mph tape, chewing gum, & bailing wire; it’ll be as good as new….
With Ryanair, that is a possibility.
Still attached? How did it then get under the right engine?
2. Indicate or communicate to Flight Crew to "Set brakes".
3. Disconnect towbar and pull away with tug.
4. Indicate or communicate that all is clear for engine start, "release brakes" and marshal out for taxi.
At least this is they way its been done for my 33-plus years in aircraft maintenance.
