A failing airbridge in SIN put a 20x35 sq in hole to our wing - 32h delay. Now we use a different stand.

I always do my 'A.M' check before I push back in TPE.

Is the 'Girl in McDonalds' related to the Townsville Refueller?

I think we should be told.

So, 2 bridges fall over, rip the L1 door off one of our A330's, 1 taken to hospital and lucky more weren't hurt or even killed.

Nothing at all from our managers?

This must be a common occurrence.

Yes, nitpicker. The silence from both AAHK and CX is deafening.

As if anything, coming from ANY level of management at CX is a straight forward version of anything worth listening to or reading. They hardly ever fail to disappoint in that matter.

A 744 just got punctured by the air bridge in JNB a few days ago, and it's still there.
Apparently after the repair it got hit by an aircraft under tow and is now stuck getting repaired again!

Captain Dart, you may well do your A.M. check before pushback ex TPE but do you do your R.F. check pre departure PEN?!
