Anyone know about this? It happened yesterday at around 8:00pm. A Colgan Saab 340 had some sort of clash with either the Comair RJ itself or a piece of the RJ. We were taxiing out and had to wait about 20 minutes before they could clear the two airplanes from the taxiway and let us through.
 
Parked next to the Saab in question today in LGA. Crunch time!

As I was waiting to taxi out in LGA today, I had the offending RJ towed past me. Sorry for the lousy picture quality, I had to go uber-digital zoom on my camera to actually get the winglet visible:

Captain of the Slaab is a former 1900 Commander and a good friend of mine. Was not his fault.
 
Ah just MEL it and finish the flight. Cause winglets are supposed to help performance right? Now they have a third! Should help more! :sarcasm:

However how often is this sort of thing happening. Minor damage while on taxi?

For you CRJ CA's, Do you guys have a good field of view of the wingtips during taxi?

Zero on any jet that Southernjets has.

But there's visual cues of where the mains should be and where the wingtips should be in the windscreen if you know what to look for.
 
Well unless the Saab backup into the CRJ, I don't see how it could be their fault??? Looks like the CRJ hit the back of the Saab's wing. Now I wasn't there so I don't know what happened.
 
What usually happens to the pilots in these type of situations? What would happen to the pilot that taxied the CRJ and damaged it?
