DELTA'S OLDEST LIVING PILOTS - JANUARY 2021

Hello Everyone,

Each year I compile a list of Delta's Oldest Living Pilots, which includes ALL living pilots from ANY airline that is now shown on Delta's Family Tree schematic (attached below).

This is the First list for 2021 and is attached below in both MS Excel and.pdf formats and is current as of TODAY,  January 15, 2021 -- only...!!! This is a list created from various sources that provide each pilot's date of birth.  The age of each person increases by one year on their day of birth using a spreadsheet formula --- so the list is correct for today only. 

There are two lists below in two formats each;  one, the OLDEST, is sorted by AGE and the second, NAMES, is sorted alphabetically.  Each list is in MS Excel format and in .pdf format, whichever you prefer. 

Note that at the bottom of the list there are seven former C&S pilots for whom we have dates of hire only, but no dates of birth.  They should be included due to their dates of hire but we know little else about them.  We need names for their initials and dates of birth and dates of their death if anyone has that information.

Due to privacy concerns I will NOT PUBLISH the pilot's Date of Birth, only the month of birth and the pilot's age - as of the particular DATE of this report -- which is stated at the top of the report.  But to compile this report accurately I need each pilot's exact Date of Birth in the data base.

If you know spouse names for those shown with question marks, please click Reply and send me that information.  If any pilot shown should pass away during the year they will be  highlighted in Yellow with their date of death shown.

There is an E in the Email column for those for whom I have an email address.  If you have an email address for any of the other pilots, please send it to me so I can send them this list.
 
I arbitrarily determined several years ago that a good age for inclusion on this list was the calendar year the pilot reached the age of 86 and the 2021 list is now as complete as I can make it.   For the year 2021 any living pilot from any of the companies now on Delta's Family Tree with a date of birth of 1935 or earlier should be included.  The list is a work-in-progress so help me make it grow, in size and accuracy.

If you know of a pilot whose name is missing and should be included, please send me that pilot's FULL name, Spouse's name, the pilot's Date of Birth and Date of Hire and the pilot's ORIGINAL airline company --- or as much of this as you know.  If the spouse is deceased, please include that information with the spouse's name.

Lets celebrate Delta's Oldest Living Pilots again and again.  Send them a Birthday Card or an email at the beginning of their month of birth.  That's close enough for us old folks.

Please FORWARD this to your Delta friends as I only have a limited number of email addresses.  Insure that everyone on this list receives a copy of this list..!!!

Thank you for your help.
Stay safe out there.
