If you damage the wing while beeing parked by marshalls because the marshalls screwed up, what is the level of the responsability of the pilot in this scenario.
In this scenario it was totally the error of both the marshallers and wingwalkers which never told us to stop the aircraft?
He parked us at the stop line for a 757 instead of stoping us prior to the CRJ line stop.

Had the EXACT thing happen to me when I was at the commuters. The friendly FAA tried to get me on a careless and reckless, even though the aircraft was barely moving (coming to a stop). I got an aviation attorney, who took my 4 page writeup of the incident, condensed it to two short paragraphs. I still got a two year warning because the FAA can give those out like candy.

This is after the marshaller and wing walker said they screwed up and there was no way for the flight crew to see the object that they hit. (it was moved into the safety zone after the flight cleared the zone and after we had taxiied by. In other words, it was moved out of our sight.

Remember, the FAA is rarely your friend.
 
Bottom line is don't ever trust a marshaller in tight quarters.
