Thank you for sending me notices of my fellow pilots and their families. Even though I have been retired  for 25 years I still remember some of these wonderful people. Be nice to me when my time comes.  

I was never an English major but saying "He HIRED ON etc just does not sound proper to me. Sounds as if the person was  going to work,lets say, on an oil rig or a construction job other than a professional airline pilot. No there is nothing wrong with the two previous jobs that I mentioned. "He/She was hired by Delta Airlines June 6 1953 etc, etc.  It just not sound proper to me but I am just one  85 year old grumpy Grampy.  Like to hear your opinion.  Thanks.   Frank E Keefe

Editor: Frank, on behalf of Carol and all the hard work that she does on our “Flight West” page I thank you for the compliment about the work and notices.  It does not happen without effort and it is all volunteer.  Most of the text of the notices is not prepared by us.  Most of the text is copied from other sources.  We don’t feel it is our place to edit these notices but rather try to copy and include them in their entirety. So from time to time we see grammatical problems with a notice but as mentioned publish them as received.  As to the “hired on” wording, some things in the English language are generational.  I suspect that this is a very acceptable phrase in today’s world.  In any case, realize that all things done on the Flight West page are intentioned to be respectful and an honor to the deceased.  Please accept all notices regardless of the construction in that light.
