Default VA 866 Friday 16/10 Stuck in a rut
On Friday night after push back and the tug disconnected the pilot advised that we were stuck in a "rut hole." We could not move forward until a car (Car 4) came to clear the area behind to enable the engines to be powered up enough to get the plane out of the hole. The hole was somewhere adjacent to gate 36.

Curious as to how deep a rut it was to stop a 737 (VH VOL)!
