Well, the 737 IS a new aircraft type. It'll take a while (like 40-50 years) to shake out peculiarities such as ground handling issues.

At least they were able to get an FTD and a cabin trainer out of it if I remember correctly. So not a total loss.

everything is fixable and the plane is less than a year old you have ZERO clue how bad the damage is so don’t come on here and claim it to be a hull loss.

They don't bend the wings and then fly them. The wings FLEX upwards in fligiht. They don't have a crease put in the wing structure to make them have a permanent bend in them. That doesn't just 'buff out'. It's a big deal. If it's sitting 'bent' unloaded on the ground it's damaged. That's not normal.

Beats me what the final decision will be.

Watch 'Downfall' and count how many times you think "whoa, that's some editing right there." After awhile, with enough editing, anything can be a hatchet jo.

That stuff is trivial. R&R - remove and replace. I'd be surprised if the wing spar is damaged.

This plane has probably suffered more G loading on landings than this thing suffered in this runoff. It would be highly surprising if the spar is damaged.
