Narrative:

During pwrback from gate, our ground crew turned us to my left, but did not turn us enough. I was completely unaware of an aircraft parked on a hardstand behind me. The ramp said nothing of the aircraft nor to use minimum power, or a sharp left turn, nothing at all. The ground man did not give me any indication to come hard left or any other signal out of the ordinary. Not until I came forward with power did ramp say anything about an aircraft behind me. I wish I could add more information, but from my position I obviously am unable.

Narrative: DURING PWRBACK FROM GATE, OUR GND CREW TURNED US TO MY L, BUT DID NOT TURN US ENOUGH. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF AN ACFT PARKED ON A HARDSTAND BEHIND ME. THE RAMP SAID NOTHING OF THE ACFT NOR TO USE MINIMUM PWR, OR A SHARP L TURN, NOTHING AT ALL. THE GND MAN DID NOT GIVE ME ANY INDICATION TO COME HARD L OR ANY OTHER SIGNAL OUT OF THE ORDINARY. NOT UNTIL I CAME FORWARD WITH PWR DID RAMP SAY ANYTHING ABOUT AN ACFT BEHIND ME. I WISH I COULD ADD MORE INFO, BUT FROM MY POS I OBVIOUSLY AM UNABLE.
