Delta Planes Clip Wings at O'Hare

[inflightboi175]

Two Delta planes "clipped wings" on the tarmac at O'Hare International Airport on Friday night, officials said.
The incident happened at about 7:30 p.m., said Karen Pride with Chicago's Department of Aviation.
"I was sitting in the exit row and they just bumped into each other," said a passenger, Michelle, who declined to give her last name. "It wasn't a big deal. Nothing was unsafe."
The planes were Delta flight No. 2207 to Minneapolis and flight No. 1777 to Atlanta said airlines spokeswoman Chris Kelly Singley.
Another aircraft was found to get the Minneapolis-bound passengers on their way. Other arrangements were being made to accomodate the travelers bound for Atlanta, said Kelly Singley.
The planes involved in the mishap were being inspected for damage by airline crews.
No injuries were reported.

surely there was an RJ nearby that caused this, maybe that SureJet outfit?

 

[Varmint]

it must have been RJ guys sitting in the "big" jet cockpits getting "mentored" by the great ones.

Sounds like it was during pushback. Sure, the pilots had A LOT to do with that....

So much resentment. Bitter lifers tossing any barb they can at mainline -- knowing full well that in the deepest reaches of their soul, they are consumed with envy and longing for "what could have been."

For our souls, please tell us how it is there....I long to downgrade to a crappier plane to come to "mainline".

How off-roads has SWA had?

How off-roads has SWA had?

HUH? Do you mean how many off-roads has SWA had? I am guessing English might not be your first language. Here are the facts:

Delta.....9 accidents 1953, 1967, 1972, 1973, 1973, 1985, 1988, 1996

Southwest.....2 accidents 2000, 2005

Because Southwest started their operation in 1971, we can eliminate the DL crashes prior to that point leaving DL with 6.....WN with 2. On loss of life DL 282....WN 1.

So you went to the desert to fly a nicer plane? Do you enjoy the sandbox? I guess I just enjoy my long San Diego layovers on my mini-bus.

Yes, I enjoy it...Its like living in PHX with humidity. Nicer plane, higher pay...no paycut from regional CA pay and i am making what your 7 year FOs make with a 12% company contribution to my retirement account yearly. I also got a 20K dollar bonus and an 8% pay raise this year. I can't complain. Neither can your guys who took early out to come work here.

You keep enjoying your SAN and I will keep enjoying my LAX, IAH, SFO, JFK and the other 100 worldwide destinations we go to.

You might be the only guy over there that likes it. Just read PPRUNE. But, if you enjoy it, then great. Enjoy LAX, IAH (????), SFO, JFK, and the other International layovers. And I would not enjoy Phoenix in the Summer, especially with humidity. It's great you do. Good luck to you.
