Two SWA planes hit each other

The news reported that 2 Southwest airplanes crashed on a runway. Turns out that they clipped wings on the deice ramp. Looks like the media does not like you today.

I was Deadheading on the plane that was hit. It was minor. I felt it, but thought the de ice truck hit us.

Is it public knowledge what happens to the pilots manning the plane at fault when something like this happens (an obvious incident but there are definitely worse things that happen in commercial aviation)? A warning? Fired? Other?
