"Where

I
started with Airwest in July 1968 as a station agent right after the merger. I
worked in catering for the first few years then moved into operations. I later
bid the ramp when we took over working our own ramp. I stayed in San Francisco
until May 1993 when I transferred to Memphis. I still work the ramp in Memphis
and will probably remain there until hopefully I retire. I still run into a few
of the people who started with either AirWest or Hughes Airwest. |

1973 through 1992, and memories from those years
are so vivid when you see all the names of people
that I once work with. After leaving GYM
I went to LAP, SJD, MZT, GDL and CUN, then I
decided to leave the company and return to my
hometown of GYM for a little while, now I reside

and hotel business. Those years were memorable
we were a family proud to belong to it, and
thank you Tom for the effort of putting this
together.

I was hired in the October 12 F/A Class of 1974. I worked as a flight attendant for about a year and was
based in LAS and PHX. In the fall of 1975 I applied for, and was hired as a
Crew Scheduler. My base was the General Office in San Mateo, and later SEA and
LAS as crew scheduling was de-centralized back to the crew bases. A few months later it was announced that the company was
going to hire pilots off the street in early 1976. Since I had about 3,000
hours in a light airplane I applied for a pilot job. I
was interviewed by Mr. Ed Altman and Captain George Locke. I was accepted for
the May 11, 1976 Pilot class. While at RW I flew co-pilot on the F-27 and
DC-9. I also was fortunate to hold Captain on the F-27 for about 2 months right
after the agent strike. (John Brunton eat your heart out!!--just kidding,
John!). During that time I flew the final revenue flight of the F-27 from
Crescent City, Ca. to Arcata, Ca. then to SFO. My crew for that flight was F/O
Craig Friday and F/A Karen Vercellino. Karen made the last flight quite
memorable! Since then I have been based in PHX, SFO, SEA, and MSP. I
am still flying for Northwest. My current position is DC-10 captain. I will
turn 60 in July, 2010 so I have a way to go yet. Even with the hardships
today's airline employee faces, I still really enjoy the job. My best wishes to all of my coworkers from RW. I hope to
see you some time at a reunion, retirement party, Oshkosh, etc.....
