Very sad news, glad I had the privilege to know you and the joy to have been your FO in the early days and co-Captain recently, truly a gentleman and a person that will be greatly missed.

Very sad news. Knew Jim since Falcon days. Have flown together many times and shared many laughs.

Think he was quitting this year. There is a lesson in this for all of us.

Sat with him only the other day in ground school. Enjoyed listening to retirement plans. A true gentleman.

Very sad news. I only had the pleasure of flying with him a few times, but also saw him around HQ and he always had a smile and hello for me. One of the good guys for sure, we knew he had our backs on board.

Thoughts with his family and friends.

A definite lesson in this for us all...

These nonstop 90 hour schedules and continuous back and forth adjustment to our body clock most likely contributed. Maybe not, but I'd be willing to guess it did. This lifestyle takes it toll... especially here at EK.

RIP Jim, you were a great guy who will be missed.

Very sad news, a lovely guy. I did a RTGS with him just before I left. A true gentleman.

Just remember guys, 90 hours a month, at all times of the day and night, might not be good for us all as we get older.

JJ RIP and deepest condolences to his family and friends.

A true legend. A master of CRM, Courtesy, Respect and Manners. There goes an aviator who anyone would have enjoyed to fly with. Not enough gentlemen around like him and he takes with him a small part of the generation who are pilots that knew how to actually "fly" the plane.
