Yes, Rob is alive and well. He lives in Florence Kentucky and can be found playing saxophone in jazz bands (as a hobby) in Cincinnati. He also builds and restores vintage saxophones. Rob is also a talented luthier and, until he lost his medical, was a very talented airshow pilot. Most had a tremendous amount of respect for him - and still do. I don't know the specific settlement Rob got after the appellate court ruled in his favor, but I would venture to guess that is was not enough, after costs and attorney fees, to make up the difference between the career he lost and the career he ended up with at DHL.

Suffice it to say that if the founding leadership at the IPA had not turned their back on him, you would be likely be flying for a very different airline right now.
