It has to be rotten luck for Qantas on any objective view - they can't take a trick lately and have muted a lot of the marketing momentum that they could otherwise have expected from the A380 inaugural services.

No doubt Lindsay Fox will be hearing some choice language from Alan Joyce ...
Obviously a misjudgment by the tug driver on how close the wing was, would have thought though there may have been someone 'marshalling' when towing in such close proximty to another aircraft.

Would have a ground engineer been plugged in possibly???

I dont think Joyce can say much to Fox unless Fox was driving the tug.
