Only YOU can prevent wing clippings!
ALERT to all Republic(an) and Shuttle America CA's: Only YOU can prevent your left wing from clipping other aircraft's wing's!! You can learn to "steer and clear" at the same time, it just takes practice!
A razzing is in order after the second incident in a week. What is this, a conspiracy against the Airbii?
See video.

My brother was on one of those flights. He sent me a text msg when it happened. He said they wouldn't deplane any passengers because they didn't want the aircraft to shift and make the damage worse. Maybe someone should have just thrown a bucket of water on one of the planes...
I'm wondering what the pavement markings were like where the incident occurred. I'm guessing that not everyone had their nosewheel on a stripe...

This is sort of odd for Republic. It seems that the E-170 guys are afraid to taxi around another aircraft, even with plenty of room. I have noticed this frequently in CLT even before these incidents. I don't think it is just certain crews, because I see it often. They could have over a hundred yards of room to go around someone, yet they decide to wait. With this over-cautiousness, it seems odd that within a week two Republic aircraft would be involved in this. Kind of ironic.
