I couldn't believe it when I first read this thread and had to verify it was the same Nick Holmes I flew with when I was with Emerald.
Nick was a very likeable person and a good pilot. I was a rookie captain and he was extremely helpful on the flight deck at all times, especially when we were trying to get into somewhere when the wx was at minimums. He will be missed by many people.
Condolences to his family and friends.
Anyone know when and where the funeral will be?
