If/when they do, it'll be all Irish airline Ryanair's fault.

P.S. Be sure to watch BA documentary on the BBC next week, darlings.

SRM, no?

I'd like to see more pictures of this.

As I understand it, this kind of occurrence is not investigated because the aircraft was parked and not operating.

Mr. O'Leary won't be happy!

What - no SCREAMING HEADLINES about a NEAR MISS which (had it happened xx hours earlier) could have caused HUNDREDS of DEATHS?

Very uncharacteristically matter of fact for a Mail article on FR.

They did throw in the line 'Ryanair, which was recently voted the UK's worst airline' though!

If anyone is responsible it would be the ground handling agent for not chocking the nose gear wheel,And if the GPU was still plugged in there would be considerable damage to the front of the aircraft.

Have we joined the UK again?

Now you're sounding like a silly Daily Mail reader.... Ryanair is a European wide airline, with a big UK presence. Hence voted the UK's worst airline, by the UK.

Am I right in thinking that in laymen's terms, an aircraft doesn't have the equivalent of a handbrake ? It can brake when landing but when on stand relies on the chocks.

It does a parking brake, however the accu pressure decreases whilst on the ground i.e. pressure in the brakes reduces until they deplete hence the need for chocks - When the engines are running there's more then enough pressure to ensure they are effective.

What's the chances of FR fixing it or scrapping/selling the plane? It's eight and a bit years old, so it's one of their older planes that I'd expect they'd sell off when the next 175 start coming in. Or would it be because they'd need every plane they have, they'll try to fix it up?

If it's fixable they will definitely repair it. 8 1/2 years old, while old by Ryanair standards is still a relatively new bird in aviation. The average age of a 737 in British Airways for example is over 21 years old!

This job will be overseen by boeing just like airbus oversees big jobs done on the buses. Plane will be like new when complete but the bill will be sporty......its not a slap on the stabilizer job.......horizontal stabilizers are not exactly lying around hangars and their associated fittings,...... specialist engineer man hours, rigging, flight test(s) downtime and loss of revenue for aircraft, will implode the final bill. €1m ?? Just a pure speculative guess.

Is there not like "Airplane" insurance?

Or would the local handlers not be liable for some of the cost?

The handlers would be liable if they actually handled it and their negligence cause it; if the plane wasn't chocked due to the strike then it'd be very much up in the air (it would be possible to offload pax without handlers due to the airstairs but not baggage so I presume the handlers had to be involved). They would have insurance for this.

However the handlers are under bankruptcy protection which makes things even more complicated.

What was the last write off?

whether or not it will be repaired is down to will it be worth more as a complete aircraft or as parts.
recently at the place I work a 737-700 that was only 8 years old was scraped, their is a lot less of a lease demand for 700's than 800's though.
