oh they can? So you frequently pilot a380s? Because all the reports I've read from Airbus say they can't see the wingtips.
By the way for anyone who's seen the video...apparently somehow the frame rate is sped up. Crazy video overall, but i guess the AF plane wasn't barreling down the taxiway at 60mph like the video seems to show.
The Air France crew is of course, partially at fault because in the end...they did fucking hit something with their plane.
But now I'm also reading that the Delta plane stopped at the wrong line while being pushed back. They should have stopped earlier, but misread the map or something of that sort, and came to a stop at the later line, which means the back end of the plane wasnt clear.
The fault should be pretty evenly spread then, because AF shouldn't hit another goddamn plane regardless, but the Delta crew also didn't put their plane in the right position.
And as another semi-useless detail, CRJs are usually manned with about the lowest commercial pilots possible. The new guys with less experience. A380s on the other hand, are the flagships, and usually piloted by the older, most experienced crews.
