Narrative:

During taxi to runway, a commuter saab (Y) announces over ground control 'does air carrier X know that he pushed us back 3 ft, back there?' I responded that we were at maximum weight and at no time was I informed of nor did I see a saab aircraft behind me. Fact: a normal 2 engine taxi was initiated from ramp and taxi hold point. I can assure you that normal breakaway taxi thrust was used and ground control never referenced the saab to us. I question as to how the saab aircraft positioned itself to be so affected.

Narrative: DURING TAXI TO RWY, A COMMUTER SAAB (Y) ANNOUNCES OVER GND CTL 'DOES ACR X KNOW THAT HE PUSHED US BACK 3 FT, BACK THERE?' I RESPONDED THAT WE WERE AT MAX WT AND AT NO TIME WAS I INFORMED OF NOR DID I SEE A SAAB ACFT BEHIND ME. FACT: A NORMAL 2 ENG TAXI WAS INITIATED FROM RAMP AND TAXI HOLD POINT. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT NORMAL BREAKAWAY TAXI THRUST WAS USED AND GND CTL NEVER REFED THE SAAB TO US. I QUESTION AS TO HOW THE SAAB ACFT POSITIONED ITSELF TO BE SO AFFECTED.
