I'm sure this'll get moved, and I really don't care. This is the only way the information will get out is in this forum.

We lost Hector Antonio Sierra-Diaz (Hector Sierra) last night (10JAN08) in a motorcycle accident on I-4 in Orlando. He was 28. Hector was a PDT FO for 3 1/2 years based in CHO, before moving on to Pinnacle as a DTW based CA, and recently to JetBlue. Hector is survived by his son, Ryan (4), who lives in NC, and his family in Kissimmee, FL as well as PR.

Is this Hector on the 190? I was just in the jumpseat with him from JFK-TPA two weeks ago. Crap, what great guy, wow.
 
My prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Yes, that's him. He had interviewed for a position with the Training Department down in Orlando and was awaiting word.

I interviewed him at Airline Training Academy when he applied as a CFI and also trained him as an MEI. He was one of the best friends I've ever had, despite our 13 year difference in age.

Terrible news. Just makes you realize how short and precious life really is.
 
Very sad. Rest in peace.

Knew him at Pinnacle and talked with him a few times at JB. He was a very nice person upbeat and always had a smile. Sorry to see one of the good guy's go in such a tragedy.

He was my sim partner in the 190 at JB. I still can't believe it. He made my training experience fun. He will be missed. Godspeed Hector
