  TWO Singapore Airlines planes hit each other's wings while preparing for take-off at Changi Airport but no one was injured, the carrier said in a statement.
  'It is reported that the wingtips of two aircraft came into contact while both aircraft were taxiing at low speed,' company spokesman Stephen Forshaw said on Sunday.
  Both Boeing 777 aircraft suffered minor damage in the accident early on Saturday morning and the passengers were transferred to other aircraft for their flights to Rome and Copenhagen.
  The airline gave no details on the number of passengers who were onboard when the incident occurred.
  Mr Forshaw said an investigation was underway with pilots of both aircraft assisting the relevant authorities. -- AFP

  there was a story about a huge increase in air traffic and a shortage of experienced pilots...
  
  lots of airlines are now hiring inexperience pilots just to meet demand..
  
  wonder if this was the case for SIA?
