Narrative:
This morning when I blocked out my flight I got out in the center of the ramp when on the outer row the marshaler gave the signal to block out the B727 from which I got blown around. The same thing happened to another guy while on blocking out his flight from spot 9 with a B757 behind it. Why can't we get the ramp personnel to wait till we go past the other planes before they allow the other planes to power up? Somebody will get hurt; or killed. Please address this and fix it.
