How come when I log in to the ALPA Ballotpoint system, I get a message:

"There are no ballots currently open for which you qualify."

I am in good standing and everything.

Airplane part falls onto NY home's front lawn
Exhaust cone falls off Delta jet headed to Tokyo, lands on lawn of NY home

ROOSEVELT, N.Y. (AP) -- An engine tail cone popped off a Delta airlines jet shortly after takeoff from New York's Kennedy Airport. It plummeted thousands of feet into a Long Island neighborhood before landing harmlessly on someone's lawn.

FAA spokeswoman Arlene Salac (SAHL'-ak) said Friday the jet doesn't need the part to fly and passengers weren't in any danger.

Neither the pilots nor people on the ground noticed the mishap when it happened Thursday evening.

The flight continued to its destination. Salac says Delta personnel reported the part missing after the plane landed in Tokyo.

The 20-pound part measured 4-feet long and 3-feet in diameter. A resident spotted it hours later and called police.

Delta says an investigation is under way.

Well, the third shoe finally dropped. Looks like we got out of all of this with no civilian casualties. Now if Leno would stop doing his lame jokes (some were pretty funny...a week and a half ago!) we can move on to bigger and better things. I will be interested to hear the report on this flight incident though.

I am surprised they are downsizing it. It was one of the best performing hubs in their system. There were some years when it was the only moneymaker. The fairs stayed high.

CAL isn't downsizing Guam. We actually added a flight to Fiji.

What part does a B-777 not need to fly and should the B-787 program be taking notes? :rolleyes:

It was only a 20 lb part. I did not know that anything on a 777 only weighed 20 lbs. ;)
