I just read in the new issue of ALPA that Robert Buck passed on at 93. I don't know if any of you know or care who he is, but if you're interested you should learn a thing or two about this guy. He was an ALPA pioneer, an Aviation weather pioneer and a researcher during the early days of 2 man/glass cockpits. His book "A pilots burden" is a great read for anyone who doesn't appreciate the way it went from 1 and 2 man crews in the 30's... to 5 man crew's in the 40's and early 50's... then 3 then back two 2 man crews in the late 80's and forward.. A great case study in CRM and the glass cockpit. Starting out in a single cockpit and retiring a 747 CA with the venerable TWA, he remained involved in aviation research and training well into the end of the this century.

They just don't make pilots like that anymore, and sadly probably never will. RIP Captain Buck!
