Understand your suspicions. Agree with absolute desire for professionalism and safety requirements. Problem with 'routine' is also complacency, etc.
A quick 'ramp safety' brief on where wingwalkers, etc and any 'non standard' issues may help resolve future safety concerns. Can't imagine Capts not minding being aware or reviewing safety between the operators before the push. Takes 30 seconds. "We have 2 wing walkers for you, they will stay wth you till..., will exit on the left side of the nose, we have alot of equipment behind you after you turn 45 degree to the right. Have a
safe flight"
Glad no one was hurt.
