MYFOXNY.COM - A portion of the cover of an engine on a Jet Blue plane that was in the air appears to have fallen off at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Runway 22 Right was shut down at around 6 a.m.
A cowling or engine cover lay on the tarmac. The plane appeared to be missing a portion of the cover.
A spokesperson for the Port Authority tells Fox 5 News that Flight 507 bound for Ft. Lauderdale, Flordia had taken off, but returned moments later.
There are no reports of injuries.
SkyFoxHD was over Newark Liberty as several emergency vehicles trailed the plane. A conversation over the air traffic control radio transmission system between a pilot and the control tower mentioned a debris fall.
Passengers were transfered safely to another flight.
MyFoxNY.com is updating this story."

These guys are going to wish they voted on ALPA now! Oh man, they're going to burn!!!!

We had the same thing happen to one of NWA's 320's a few years ago.

 

[Cardinal]

Doh. I think just about every A320 operator has done it once. To see those latches you almost have to go arse over tea-kettle.

 

[a320drivr]

This is like our third one in as many months. They hung the fo on the last one.

 

[Mike man]

Passengers were transfered safely to another flight.

I'm glad no one was injured during the re-ticketing and re-boarding process.

 

[FLYLOW22]

Seems more like a line maintenance issue than a pilot issue. ...or are you Blue guys checking the dipstick on an extension ladder every leg?

 

[GuppyWN]

Hopefully this is a case of metal fatigue or incorrect paint markings on the latches.

Gup

Why/How did they hang the F/O?

I check all the latches are secure. If something falls off, not my fault. I am sure most guys do the same.

That's what no union and just a policy manual gets you. In the mgmt mindset, the buck stops at the pilot.....

Because ALPA did so much to help out your fellow Delta errrr I mean Northwest brothers who overflew Minneapolis. The union sure forget to tell that Northwest F.O. rule number 1. Never ever talk to the media. Let the facts come out and then you can spew your non union rant.

Hey Jackhole.....It's better to know the "facts" you talking about before opening your Cock receptacle.....

These guys were and are STILL being paid in full by Delta until this gets sorted out. Doubtful this would have happened if there was nobody around like a policy manual or a touchy feely people board!!

What the FO did has nothing to do with ALPA....they tell people to keep quiet and make no statements. What he did is not the union's fault.

There!! Facts are on the table, now can I continue??

 

[thruthemurk]

Hung the FO?

You mean they had to go to training to be reminded about how to check a cowl latch closed? No loss of pay? Oh the horror.

Obviously you don't know the entire story. If you did, you would regret your above post.

Well then share it or shut it. Quit playing I have a secret.

Awww are we still mad about the other thread? Why don't you go get another glass of bluejuice and shut your pie hole stud. You must be a BOB, no command of the facts but you think you know everything.

Me mad? Come on now haven't you realized yet that you are the angry jackhole that no one wants to fly with. I'm quite far from a BOB but then again I'm sure you and I have these same conversations in another forum. I'm not claiming to have any command of the facts because I know nothing about that last situation... but I'm betting you don't either because if you did, you would share them instead of pretending you have insider information that you don't want to share with the rest of us.

The above statement is the failingest fail that has ever failed.

You have to be kidding me!
It's amazing what ALPA will protect. I bet that American Eagle FO is still getting full pay.
What a joke!

ALPA!!! We've got it all bass ackwards!

And you are O.K. with these two guys sitting at home getting paid while you fly a full line?? They were hung out to dry by all parties faster than you can get wind check out of your double brested pie hole. Please educate the rest of us with the facts and when ALPA will have them returning to work. I am listening. If you screw up bad enough union or no union you will be without a job.
