Jump to postSlightly off topic, but Qatar might be having a hard time with 787s this week:
From a tweet by Matt Cawby:
"A7-BCE delivery delayed, got hung up on the air bridge while being pushed back unknown if damage occurred"
Not much information out there, but I found this interesting since there are claims that that aircraft was surrounded by fire trucks: <i>A fire-brigade supervisor in Doha said it did not have any record of an incident with an airport-related call last week.</i> <a href="http://www.reuters.com/articl...

Not sure if anyone can shed any light on this, but I have a question - first, let me explain my thought process. I was an aircraft maintainer for the better part of 14 years; as a result, I know there are operating limits and then there are max limits - essentially the point at which a component wou...
