US Airways Airbuses Clips Wings at DCA Once Again!

Boeing Boy!!! I love it, when a captain damages an aircraft, be it an accident, and not just one aircraft but two, and no serious injuries, he is: suspended, probably documented discipline, retrained in a sim and a check ride. The other hand a ramper damages an aircraft in an accident situation managers go for the gusto, they shoot for termination, not always get it but they try. This has been brought up numerous times with the company and their past response, well they have a pilots license your just a ramper!!!!!! It makes us rampers P.O'd to the 10th degree.

Unfortunately, nobody ever guaranteed that life would be fair. Oft times easier and cheaper to replace beats out fairness.

Here is the story from 2008: http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/lib..._2008-02-26.pdf

There seems to be some confusion, was it UAL or LCC? And was it the other day or 2 years ago? Was it at
DCA or IAD?

Well . lets see. I watched it happen! So I guess I know the facts. Any other questions?

I really, really would like to see a 747 at DCA.

I know the facts keep getting in the way, but when did Barbie jets start flying the Shuttle?

190s fly certain DCA - LGA Shuttle flights on the weekend and all Shuttle flights between BOS and LGA.

Indeed.

YV?

To the Fleet Service Agents...I'd like to apologize for making assumptions and a mockery out of ourselves with the "assumptions" joke...

Except for these Agents in PHX who keeps losing my bag on a three city connection revenue ticket from PSP-LAS-CLT-PBI three trips in a row in 2006 =) No Apologies for you folks!

But in all sincerity...the media didn't get their facts correct and I took the "facts" from them and made an assumption that it was a push back incident from the first article I found...

The 747 in that Article Cracks me up...Off to the far away lands of non-USAV I go.

And those 190s are Mainline.
