These kinds of incidents are happening more and more frequently and it's not just a case of more being reported on due to media scrutiny.

Nothing seems to be working as smoothly as they used to in the Joe Biden post Covid world.

And it's getting worse, not better.

Maybe the Virgin pilot was not so experienced.

Hopefully the cockpit crew was diverse. That’s all that matters.

Planes collide at Heathrow

Wing tipping is not considered a collision.

You’d think that airport operations would have had enough practice by now to learn how to avoid these problems.

You only had one job to do!
Priority 1, when moving an aircraft...don’t hit anything.

‘wingletS’ hit the tail of another jet? I didn’t know the 787 was also available in a biplane configuration. /s

Since there' prejudice against drunks having important jobs - which is a form of oppression - let's demand by DEI standards that 5% of pilot jobs go to drunks.

“A Virgin Atlantic 787 has collided with a British Airways Airbus A350 while pushing back from the terminal building at Heathrow airport causing minor damage to both aircraft.”

My how they really paint a different picture than it really was. The by-line is easily pictured as the VA aircraft missing the runway and coming down on the taxiway while the airbus was being lined up for the taxiway. And the way things have been accomplished with the continual lack of safety lately I could see it.

Those DEI Trans pilots don’t mind a little banging into each other.

Now that’s a ‘Near Miss’.

“Those planes almost missed.”

“Yeah, but not quite!”
