Miami Dolphins Charter Plane Clips Tail of American Jet in Dallas
While clipping is a 15 yard penalty in the NFL, in the airline biz it often costs someone their job.

Ground Damage... Pretty Common... that is what you get when you hire cheap labor. When they had Mechanics doing push backs you never heard of this kind of damage... But now, the ground ops people are not nearly as careful. It is a trend that is going to continue to happen.
That's BS, back in the 80's I worked for CO at EWR. We weren't mechanics, and myself and the rest in my zone never banged an airplane.
How bout those mechanics doing ground runs with the squat switch disabled, taking out the terminal??? Blame the individual, not the group...

I'm still a youth Preacherman
I ain't gonna tell you what I was doing in the 80's but it wasn't poundin ground.lol
Pimp?
All that I am saying is that there is MORE ground damage now with Rampers that their were when Mechanics were doing the Pushbacks. It still happened, but not nearly as often.
Fair enough...
no, son.lol
You and I were talking about Rick James and Mary Janes a while back, so I just assumed you were raising hell back in the 80's...
My hell raisin was in the late 60's/early 70's. I was married and working for a living in the 80's.lol
Nice
