Delta flights involved in 2 more wingtip hits at JFK

[Conrad]

Twice within about an hour Wednesday, planes operated by Delta Air Lines were involved in wingtip strike incidents while taxiing to their gates at Kennedy Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration and airport officials said.

The incidents — one involving an arriving flight at about 4:30 p.m., the second involving an arriving flight at about 5:30 p.m. — came a day after the FAA said the wing of a Delta flight struck the tail stabilizer of an American Airlines flight on a departure taxiway at Kennedy.

Delta Air Lines did not immediately comment Thursday. The FAA has said it is investigating.

I blame those quick upgrade times and inadequate tiller training.

Eh, the tug was most likely trying to cut in front of the plane, as for the other, it's an RJ. No big loss.

Probably getting parked anyway once the CS arrives.

Time to weed out Tier 2 crews.

This is what happens when you infringe on a Tier 1 Taxiway. Delta moves over for no one!

Were the involved crews flow-throughs?

That's what happens when you go from a C-172 to a job fair to a class date at Delta...
