CaptVelocity, I'm not sure of the point of your post but it's probably worth fact checking before shooting off rumours. You see many selfies of Vortex pilots getting around? It was a forklift which reversed into the wingtip as the driver wasn't watching where he was going. Vortex have COVID procedures in place which prevents pilots from interacting with ground crews and the onus is on the ground handlers to safely operate vehicles and provide the lookout for the drivers, the whole point being to limit the possibility of spread to a COVID free island.
With the state of the industry at the moment, it's sad to see cheap shots being thrown around still. You'd hope that everyone would be trying to help each other out rather than pulling others down. Having an aircraft damaged is costly to the operator and the customer, no one wins here.
