Poles apart
Well seeing that this is the Rumour Network I was wondering if anyone has heard these:
Red-Rat Regional hit a light pole on taxi out at SYD recently and sliced off a section of wing. Rumour is that he had to be told to stop as he didn't feel it.
Same airline had a Cabin Altitude warning on their central warning Panel but didn't see anything because the sun was shining on it.
News also from their competitor with Blue and Ocar markings. A Captain was complaining in the staff paper and was publically told to pull head by CEO in or receive a good referance.
Can anyone substantiate?

I guess what you wrote is so improbable that no-one wants to dignify it with an answer...
Light poles in the middle of taxiways???!

Yep this one is true. Bay 59 @ T2, wasn't at work at the time, but the aircraft apparently vacated the bay in the wrong direction and the wing struck a light pole. Not sure about not knowing, but was told that it was a Senior Check Captain driving at the time.

Oh I have heard a lot of rumours lately!
how about:
Dash-8 in Sydney being lifted up while taxiing out by a wind gust and damaging fuselage.?
Anyone?
