MIAMI -- Authorities say a Delta plane's engine failed in mid-air over Florida, forcing the flight to make an emergency landing. Broward County Aviation Department spokesman Greg Meyer said Sunday that several pieces of what appears to be the damaged engine were recovered from near the highway that runs alongside the Fort Lauderdale airport. No injuries were reported. It was not immediately clear what caused the engine failure. Meyer says the plane landed safely Sunday morning and the 140 passengers headed for Minneapolis are being rebooked on other flights. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says a safety inspector is headed to the scene to determine what happened. A Delta spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment. |

A Delta Airlines Boeing 737-800, flight DL-1846 from Fort Lauderdale,FL to Minneapolis,MN (USA) with 140 passengers, was climbing out of Fort Lauderdale's runway 09L when the crew reported the failure of the left hand engine and levelled off at 3000 feet. An aircraft waiting for departure reported seeing parts dropping off the aircraft prompting the tower to order a runway inspection with nothing found on the runway. The Delta Boeing returned to Fort Lauderdale's runway 09L for a safe landing about 17 minutes after departure and vacated the runway. Runway 09L was closed for about 10 minutes. Aircraft parts were found near the Port Everglades Cargo Entry Point. Witnesses on the ground reported a huge bang from the engine following by parts dropping off the aircraft. |

+1....No Doubt. NWA must've bought all the fleet's paint at a Sherman-Williams close-out sale. Most of our old stuff was ugly as a bowling shoe. Current scheme is far better

Call me crazy, I really liked the last Northwest livery. The metallic silver is very nice. In fact, I wish Delta would keep the current livery, but change the pale boring white to the NWA metallic silver.

Is it true that they put the Delta logo that high up in order to fit "connection" underneath it?

When are the PCS runs? I thought it was 7am, noon, and 6pm Mecca time.
Are swap-with-the-pot requests processed at these same times? I got a WS during the early PCS run, but my swap wasn't even processed. Am I missing something? Do they always run right at the scheduled times, or does it vary day to day? I figured the noon run would have happened by now, but it's 12:35 here in ATL. Thanks in advance:confused: They must have ran them because I was trying a Swap with the pot, & the trips are gone. I didn't get either of them. |
you can find out by pulling up your swap request and then selecting "deny" on the bottom, I think it is F4, it will tell you when the swap was ran and why you did not get it.

I think there is more to the story than getting them to just join the SkyTeam Alliance. Could they be bought and operated independently within the AF/KLM group like KLM has been since AF bought them? When we hire Goldman Sachs as an advisor, there is more going on than a JV and getting another airline to join the Alliance.
Is there a hole in our scope section that would/could allow this situation or would DALPA have to sign off on a VA JV/Codeshare? |
