Aerobridge hits QF63 (A380) at SYD

[tassie6]

I imagine they didnt have a crew after the above delayed ~24 hours, QF flight status page has it leaving Monday evening, local time

They didn't have a plane.

VH-OQH still yet to fly since the incident.

Sun Mornings QF63D seemingly took the aircraft (VH-OQI) that was scheduled for QF81, with QF81 operated by an A333 - unfortunate for F passengers in particular.

So about an 80-hr fix from the Sat morning incident.

VH-OQH about to operate QF1.

VH-OQH about to operate QF1.

And only just under 30 minutes off the pace!

What is it with all the errant air bridges running into aircraft?
Oh wait, it must be QANTAS' fault!!
Do we suspect a lack of ongoing training, or just normal training to be done.
A 737 or a 380 is a damn big bit of kit when you are driving an airbridge - how can you not see it??????
The average driver of an airbridge would be, what, 1 meter from the edge of the bridge!!!!!
Have we located a blind spot with airbridges in Australia??

Gave him a hammer, couldn’t hit the nail, gave him a bat couldn’t hit the ball, gave him an airbridge he hit everything

It got a base maintenance check as well. It was due to go to LAX this week for it's regular base maintenance check (last was mid-May), but the resulting schedule switches meant it would miss its slot at LAX so it was done at SYD now instead.
