SKW CRJ700 smashed by 757 on pushback

[soup can]

guess it takes more than 1 ramper to push back a 757 after all.

Where??

Bye Bye--General Lee

Where??

SFO.

I get the feeling someone at UA spent their evening getting a pee test and then cleaning out their locker.

Remember kids, wingwalkers are your friends.

I doubt it. AMFA will help this guy keep his job.

More effective than scope clauses, I guess.

the root of the problem had to be an iPod

Reminds me of what happened when maintenance put a CAL jet through the terminal one early morning in EWR.

 

[B727FA]

And I'm certain he was wearing Docs.

And had frosted tips and was carrying a backpack.

Anyone have pictures of the 700, or know a tail number?

It would be nice if the bean counters came forward and announced to the public that it is much cheaper in the long run to hire $5.00 ramp monkeys than decent help.

He had a lot of hair gel in I am sure.

An example of the stupid effing press:

"A United Airlines Boeing 757 jet that was backing out of a gate at San Francisco International Airport crashed into a SkyWest plane..."

"There were two maintenance workers in the cockpit steering the plane as it was being pushed by the tug truck, Urbanski said."

Why was the CRJ in the way of the 757?:0

 

[Inconceivable]

Now, had those jello-eating, golden-plate-coveting, pedophiliac polygamists voted in ALPA this could have been averted!

I could have sworn United was ALPA. But what do I know, I'm just a mouth-breathing Teamster.

That's right. If only they voted in ALPA, the tug driver and wing walkers would have known to stop the push and avoid swapping paint. It's ALPA national's way of sticking it to them. Literally.

I have pictures of both planes but no idea how to post them on flightinfo. PM me if you want them emailed to you or you know how to post them on here...

Somebody buy this ramper a beer....If only all rampers showed this work ethic we'd rid ourselves of the giant RJ in no time.

Also ridding UA of a perfectly good 757.

They need to take out the -200's not the -700's

Create an account with Flickr.com and you can post and link them here.

I got an email from somebody in SGU today telling me I could not post these pics on a public forum. Don't know why it would matter but I have to retract my earlier post. Sorry.

"A United Airlines Boeing 757 jet that was backing out of a gate at San Francisco International Airport crashed into a SkyWest plane carrying 60 passengers and crew Sunday night in what airport officials called a serious accident."

"The 54 passengers who were evacuated from the SkyWest plane were sent to local hotels and will be put on the first available flight to Boise in the morning, according to Ginty."

If there are 4 crewmembers on a CRJ700, what happened to the other 2 pax? I hate the media!!!

Update:

705SK was ready for revenue flights today. As it's being pushed out of the hangar, some a-hole closes the hangar doors on the tail. Back to the hanger it goes...
