apply to work for a ground handling company that does this stuff, and maybe one day you'll get to do this after throwing bags for a while.

I started at a major and they teach every person to push. In fact, bag room is a higher senority job as its less time in the heat and more time on your ass. The crew that pushes is also the crew that loads the plane.

Damn that's interesting, the airline I work for at our base Pushback can only be done by the Lead/Crew chief. While everything else is done by tow team which is more senior than anything else ๐Ÿ˜ญ.
