I'm generally skeptical of GoFundMe's but I think in this case we've got a link to a pretty reliable one so that's probably a heck of a lot easier for his widow than whatever the PAF paperwork is (and frankly at this point a lot more money than the PAF would be).

I'll echo what some of the other guys have said; I'd love to see this pilot group really step up. There's 1900+ pilots on property as of the last seniority list, if we all give $100, that's $190,000+ for a woman who's expecting her first child and just lost her husband. Money can never bring back her husband or really do much to ease her suffering but it's one less thing to worry about when you've already got so much to worry about.
