Pause the video. Looks like UA is 2 feet back from the mark. And OO 175 is 2 feet left of centerline... hmmmm. I like how the lady says “it felt like we ran over a body”. How does she know what that feel like!! And “we hit Continental “... airlines been gone for 6 years...

Doesn't matter where it was parked. The brake was set and it's crew was at the hotel bar. It's on the SKW guy. The CA, not the FO.

This. The moving plane is always responsible for wing clearance. It doesn't matter if the thing you hit is at the gate or on the runway. If you aren't sure you can make it, stop. If you're in a ramp, have your wing walkers come out.

Uh, really?
Haven't you heard of Minimum Service Time?
Plus the E-175 is the future and wing walkers cost money, it surely must have been the fault of the parked A320!
Parked airplanes be damned, it all about D:0 and A:0!
I'm just surprised they didn't blow another slide?

Related- was talking with an ASAP guy and he said 9/10 times the F/O throws the CA under the bus in their report!

I can't recall if ASAP is available with bent metal?
In this case the FO probably doesn't have to even bother... it's self-evident.
