Heh it would be fun to get about 20 loadies, enter via the rear door and then slowly walk to the front of the aeroplane

Funny, I was thinking just that.

Maybe the Alitalia crew got the idea from the (original) Italian Job.:shock:

Remember the coach?..........

That wouldn't be the same ground crew who did that to that VC10, would it?

Several MD-11 operators use tugs chained to the nose-gear to prevent that happening (as there's nowhere for a tail-stand). FedEx at Dubai have a huge block of concrete on wheels, shaped to fit round the nose-gear.

MD-11s are notoriously tail-heavy but if there were ever any MD-11s that shouldn't need a tailstand its the Alitalia ones. They have the door at the rear and I think are unique in that regard.
