Wow I would hate to be in the very front, or rear of that little plane.

I thought about the what might happen to him. So you think he is toast huh?

Woman driver in the Bombardier? I'd stake money on it. Prolly just sittin' there for no [censored] reason at all wondering where she's supposed to taxi to.

more like the ground controller who endid his career. apparently the regional couldn't taxi to the gate and was blocked off from omving; A380 should not have approached.

I saw the video and thought "clipped"??? That was one pretty darn hard "clip".
Should have been "A380 takes Bombardier for a spin."

Sure, but it's fun and true most of the time. Just like with opening pickle jars, parallel parking and other such fun activities, I might add.

It looks to me like the Bombardier failed to clear the taxi way.

Someone was in someone else's way. I have to imagine there are lines for the planes to follow for taxi in order to account for wingspan, etc.
Given that the 380 is new and huge, could it have been a mismarking/misreading issue?

Yeah, seriously, the taxi lanes at most airports weren't designed to accomodate such wide loads. It's similar to hauling a mobile home down the road.
Airports get certified from the FAA for aircraft of this size (and the new Boeing 747-8). The infrastructure was adequate to support the equipment. I assume the A380 was taxiing down the centerline of the taxiway, as he or she was supposed to be doing. I'm sure the controller planned for the CRJ to be clear of the A380's path (including wingtips). It looks like congestion halted the CRJ before it cleared the A380's wingtips. A close review of the tape will show who was in communication with whom, and will probably reveal that an assumption was made that ground traffic was flowing smoothly when it was not. As is usually the case, I'm sure a ton of variables all came together to create this situation...like 5 minutes earlier, a bag fell off a cart, which halted the luggage cart, which halted a fuel truck, which delayed a gate approach, etc...
This very same situation could have occured with a 767 or 737 or other smaller aircraft as well.

That little jet looked like a toy getting spun around like that.

So without any information or proof you claim to know the gender of the pilots.
Here in the states that's sexism and it's something not practiced by mature, intelligent adults. Anyone with a modicum of brainpower knows that gender stereotyping is a sign of an insecure person-one who needs some serious help.

ABC news reported that the smaller plane stopped short to avoid a truck passing in front. They also interviewed a pilot (Michael Barr) who claimed that the Airbus crew was responsible for making certain there was clearance for their plane to get around the smaller plane before they proceeded.
So far on the limited information available you're 0 for 2. Not exactly a good record.

maersk should hook up with Popinski. They seem to think alike:

I said I'd place a wager on it. That's a claim of confidence, not certainty.

It's not stereotyping if it's overwhelmingly true. In all honestly, I can tell the gender of drivers ahead of me just by the way they handle their vehicles and themselves through traffic. As I pass them I've come to find I'm almost always right.
If they keep way too far from the curb (even so far as to straddle 2 lanes), travel well under the limit in the passing lane, brake too early, are generally lacking in confidence or over cautious, can't or won't keep their lane, are clumsy, a nuisance or inconvenience to me or other drivers then I can conclude with reasonable certainty that...
I'm not saying all women are poor drivers. Just that most are complete klutzes behind the wheel.
And you're the one who's insecure, getting all worked up like that over politically incorrect yet accurate statements.

Like I said, they stopped some 100 odd feet ahead of the truck for no good reason.
The truck was long gone and still they wouldn't move. Just stood there like klutzes inconveniencing people.
How was I to conclude anything other than what I did about the pilot?

Of course they would blame the French. The Canadians weren't handy.

Who's keeping a record? And why do you claim I'm wrong (about the Bombardier pilot being a woman) when you also lack any proof.
