Colgan flight 4838 to ALB was stationary (parking brake set) behind an CRJ on taxiway Bravo near the Papa intersection when Comair tried to sqeeze by on the right side of the Saab to continue on Papa. Comair's left winglet sliced into the Saab's right airleron 5-6 feet in from the Saab's wingtip. Poor judgement by the Comair CA to try and squeeze by. Comair's plane was well right of taxiway centerline.

A solid grasp of the English language is not a high priority at Colgan... no worries.

1) Hair gel - check
2) Axe spray - check
3) Backpack - check
4) Smashing face up against side window so I can see wingtip clearance - Heck no, it'll mess up number 1 above...

My little Colgan friend it was a joke... making a statement like that, makes me fairly certain that you are a kid.
oh BTW i flew at Colgan in 99 to 2001 so dont go around making statements like that when you and me both know what goes on at Colgan. Now that the Q is online and its the first time you guys have been above what 14000ft, its just a matter of time when something happens over there.
