You guys are incredible. An EK wingtip collides into the tail of another aircraft and you're discussing passenger numbers.
At least turn it into an Airbus vs Boeing debate if you want to thread drift.

Parking
I love this forum..... Not! Some mature and sensible facts would be much appreciated ie was the GOL parked correctly, was the EK aircraft on the taxiway centreline was there sufficient room for both aircraft on said parking stand! I think you get my drift!
