Truck Hit our Wing

DL1426: ATL-STL. Truck hit our wing while pushing from the gate. Isn’t that why there are ground crew with lighted batons? Kinda dark but I can see the bottom of the shark winglet is bent/crushed. Too dark for a pic though.

We all felt a bang on push back, apparently one pax on plane saw it.

DL is getting us a new plane but I hope someone is held accountable for this.

Sorry to hear of the inconvenience, and seems like nobody got hurt, so that's good. But why the vengeance? Accidents happen, and lighted batons aren't failsafe.

Ha, yes someone will be held accountable. A $18/hour contract caterer.
