The main thing is that ALL parties will learn and make changes to procedures at BUR.

As a side note, the airplane only has a few minor scrapes on the upper part of the winglet. This is amazing considering the type of collision involved.
I don't think our ASAP agreement with company will protect you at all in this scenario, since it is Non Sole Source. If the company wanted to punish the Crew they'd have all the evidence they would need, ASAP or not.

Having said that, I don't think they'll take any action than some re-training. **** happens. I also think the CA is an extremely senior CA at the company.
