A merger is not enough - there has to be consummation, or rather, actual contact!

Two flights bound for the Midwest from Seattle were canceled this morning when the passenger-filled planes backed into each other as they left their gates, airport officials said.
No one was injured.
A Delta 737-800 plane, Flight 1288 to Cincinnati, was backing away from its gate at the Concourse Terminal at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, shortly before 7 a.m, according to airport spokeswoman Terri-Ann Betancourt.
At the same time, Betancourt said, a Northwest 757-300 plane, Flight 620 to Minneapolis, was backing away from its gate at the South Satellite Terminal.
The two planes bumped into each other. The flights were canceled and passengers were being transferred to other flights, Betancourt said.
Glad everyone is okay, other than a couple of bruised airplanes.
For once, it's not the hometown airline making such news.
When I heard about this earlier today, I immediately thought it was that certain airline with the Eskimo on the tail.

Or the one with the Eskimo's fuzzy butt-hole on the tail
It is annoying that what amounts to a fender to fender bump in a parking lot makes headlines. Yes, it should not have happend, but geez, it was a BUMP.
