Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Procedure; Human Factors
We were cleared by Ramp to proceed to spot and contact Ground for Taxiway XX; Taxiway XY to the ramp. As we began our taxi; an Airbus came out from the gates towards us at a 45 degree angle. They were merging onto our taxi line to also go to [the same spot]. I slammed on the brakes and if [I] would have continued we would have been T-boned by the Airbus. Following right after the Airbus was another that also almost clipped into us. I notified Ramp Control of the near incident and was replied with 'I don't have a visual on them and assumed they were already there. It's outside of my control.'
Pilot reported slamming on the brakes to avoid a collision with an aircraft taxiing out.
