Default 737 Blown Across Ramp

Another reason to rely on chocks instead of brakes is the unreliability of a
hydraulic parking brake. The pressure can bleed off and release the brake
after a bit. So the mistake might have been setting the parking brake
instead of using chocks.

What do you want to bet that the brakes weren't set?
