not sure of the spelling of his name, but he was an Irish B737 captain with Virgin Express for some time in 1998-99 and then i heard went to Ryan.
i saw a saddening notice that he had a heartattack and was searching for some notices on this site but could not find any.
he was such a warm kind and humourous person and i am so sorry to hear that something like this has happened to him.
any info would be greatly appreciated.
hoping for the best.

when asked to leave this alone, i must have offended someone's superstition. didn't mean to. i lean more toward the possibility that prayer might help.
i spent time with him and came to like him but have not been in touch.
just wanted to know.
will be quiet about it now.

Last I heard he was still unconscious in hospital in Brussels after suffering a heart attack at 7000 feet on take-off from Charleroi.
I came to know him quite well in Rome with VEX
He also flew extensively in Africa and Asia, with Silk Air, I think
All our prayers are with him and Angie,

Sorry to hear about Chris.
I'll remember him as a great guy. He always saw the bright side of things. Good and pleasant skipper.
I met him when he was with GPA in Lagos 22 years ago. He is known throughout the industry as a very nice guy. Lets hope he makes a speedy recovery.
Is it same Capt who flew with Air malta and MAS-Malaysian airline system.I met him in sometime in 1991.
Very sorry to hear such bad new.

Chris is an excellent bloke and in my books they don't come much better than him. Best wishes for a swift recovery, and maybe one day soon we'll have another 'Irish' at the pub together.
