Send the guys from Southwest in to fix the 744, seeing as they are all such a bunch of legends (it'll be fixed in five minutes flat).

The 380 will fix itself.

I guess this will cost a few gold bits that the company apparently doesn't have. May be a naïve question, but doesn't insurance cover this sort of hiccup?

Poor b@rst@ds will be crucified. Probably, only following Air Nair's LAX SOP's.

No prob, Texas Tony thinks - many more Mexicans where they came from.

Any pics?
Was it a scape or a decent nudge.
When VA's 777 backed into a hangar it cost million and aircraft was AOG for 4 or 5 days from memory.

Okay, a little off topic, but the local handlers on the other side of the Country do a better job.

This was the tail of an Air Jamaica A310 at JFKNY some years back, it was grounded for months after being towed out of a hangar.

The 747-400 'winglet' is a remove and replace part (I believe it's actually on the MEL that you can dispatch with one missing). Trailing edge damage on the 747 may be a bit tougher to patch.
