Misc - HL 157 (2)

Hello Carol,

Sadly read your notifications concerning Jerry Belford, Tem Hager and Bob Delair. I flew with these fellows as a new hire 727 flight engineer when hired at Republic Airlines in 1985. They were excellent pilots, wonderful men and fine mentors for a new, wet behind the ears kid who wanted to fly. I'll miss them all.

Thanks,

Rand Peck

REP/NWA/DAL ret.

 

Editor: I re-printed Rand’s comments because this is exactly why we put in the time to post notices on those who have flown west.  Many we have known have made a very lasting impression on us and some wish to let that be known to family and friends and to share their sympathies.

Subject: Petition for redress of inequitable contract Termination

May I humbly suggest to my fellow pilots that they refrain from suggesting that Richard Anderson is hypocritical in his trying to emulate C.E. Woolman in his attempt to rebuild the airline to what it was. He seems to be doing a good job.He was not to blame for what befell those of us who devoted our lives to trying to carry on C.E'S legacy

Toward the end of our careers we had bad management who lined their own pockets and an M.E.C. that threw us under the bus to advance their own agendas

I suggest that those who started the petition consult with Will Buergey , our D.P.3 Chairman. Will has devoted 5 years of his life correcting monstrous inequities to the pilot group with P.B.G.C. Had he been the M.E.C. CHAIR at the time of bankrupcy, I am sure we would have fared better

I would also suggest that the petition be sent to the DELTA BOARD OF DIRECTORS, they control what Mr Anderson does.

He has done a remarkable job bringing Delta back from the brink and will seek to reinstate Mr Woolman's ideals and business model

W.R. La Liberte 'L-15 Captain retired 1997

Editor: The petition packet will be sent to Directors as well as our Senior Executives.
