Must be the new math they are teaching in schools today. How hard is it to check the measurements BEFORE the plane shows up.

I'd blame it on the metric system.

For the very small number of 380's around, there sure is a high rate of wing strikes. Recall the Air France JFK smack!

Perhaps there needs to be some additional training and perhaps cameras and ??????

Bad year for 380 wings....

But, if I were EMB, I'd leave the wing fence (sharklet, gate, winglet...whatever they're calling it this week) in the corner of the building
