Hey everyone -
Got some bad news. A close friend of mine died in the Chalk's Ocean Airways crash in Miami yesterday. He was an overall outstanding individual, and my life is better for having known him.
I, like the rest of you, are impatiently awaiting news about a class date at JetBlue. I would ask you all to take a moment and reflect on what is most important in life and what our priorities should be. Please say a prayer for my friend, the other pilot, and the rest of the passengers who were onboard. Keep all their friends and family in mind this holiday season, and take some extra time with your loved ones. When I talked to him on Sunday, I never thought it would be for the last time.
Blue skies and tailwinds until we meet again when I make my final flight west, PD. You will be sorely missed by all, and most certainly will not be forgotten.
I have no doubt that he is in a better place, and that his view from there is not unlike my avatar. If God isn't my copilot, then PD most certainly is now.
RIP
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
