Sad news regarding one of our own.

Awful, just awful. Hurts when we lose one of our own. My heart goes out to the family.

ALPA has some of the finest people I've ever known working on their survivor commitee. These are volunteer positions and trust me, they will take great care of his family during this awful time.

If there is a water cannon from PHX FD when the flt from LIH lands could someone please post it here? I would like to be at the airport if that happens. Thanks.

Ted was such a wonderful person... the funny guy. If I wasn't flying with him I would always see him around the halls or in the jetways. Always friendly , always smiling! We will miss you Ted.

This just in from our West union. Ted's body will be returned to PHX tomorrow 4/25 on the LIH flight that arrives at 7:35 am. Employees are to gather at A18 30 minutes prior to arrival of the aircraft. They will then proceed rampside for the water cannon salute and transfer of the casket to the hearse. Godspeed Ted.
