I figure because we had the taxi light thread we should have one for the people who can't figure out how to park in the block at DCA. I'm not the guy who made the video and I don't think the offenders are limited to just the airlines he mentions. I've seen every carrier park the "incorrect" way (commuter and major). It seems to happen so much these days that even some of the controllers give block instructions now.

Not sure why it's a problem now. Until about 3 years ago everyone parked correctly in the block. No one ever had to teach me how to park in the DCA block. You just saw guys do it and it made common sense. Maybe it's because in the past few years DCA has added new carriers and more flights that we have crews passing thru that aren't familiar. Or just no one gives a crap anymore.

So with no further ado - especially for those among us that can be called TULSA (Total Utter Lack of Situational Awareness), here is the video:

BTW the guy who made the video is great guy. Even when he falls off his boat.
