Flight Crew Returned To Gate; Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Human Factors
After getting clearance to push from both Towers to the 'Y' I initiated the pushback. As soon as I started my turn into the taxiway the pilot notified me of a jet speeding in our direction. I immediately braked and pulled back toward the gate. The pilot stated again that we had the clearance and the jet should have stopped. It did not stop and sped right by.
Air carrier tug driver reported a near collision with another air carrier aircraft during pushback procedure.
