Airport; Company Policy; Procedure
The self-park has had four occurrences where the arriving flight has stopped short of the stop mark. Because of stopping short the aircraft now has to hooked up to a tug and be repositioned to the proper stop mark. By having to reposition the aircraft it's a huge inconvenience for the passengers possibly missing their connecting flights as well as runners trying to connect bags to other flights.
IAH Ramp Agent reported there have been numerous aircraft stopping short of the stop mark while using the self-park at the gate.
