Narrative:
While taxiing into the gate; the pilot flying and pilot monitoring elected to continue to the gate while an aircraft that had pushed from another gate was in position with ground crew approximately 120 feet and 30 degrees off center of our gate j-line; aligned with the eastern taxi-in line at the terminal. The pilot monitoring noticed pilot flying was proceeding past our gate and called that that was the correct gate. The pilot flying stopped the aircraft and made a left turn with brake to align on the gate j-line; however 40 feet inside the top of j-line due to the 30 feet overshoot. Winds at the time were approximately 280 degrees at 20 kts; or approximately 60 degrees off the gate j-line axis blowing towards the eastern taxi-in line at the terminal. After engine shutdown; both pilot flying and pilot monitoring were met by a ramp supervisor who stated that the engine exhaust was creating a hazard for the ramp crew that had pushed the aircraft from an adjacent gate.
