Funny guy with a pleasant personality no matter how bad the situation was. Hyperboy said it best to our friend, Flaps Up, Yaw Damp On.
Funny that you should mention that, because he and I were in KPIT a week and a half ago and he mentioned how sad it was that the commuter terminal was closed and walled off. I only flew with the guy once, but I will miss him all the same. A stand up guy and a great captain; Carl embodied all that an airline pilot should be. Only one four day trip together, and I heard him same a few times how great of a job it is that we have. This despite having all the crap slung at us over four days. His seat will be a tough one to fill.
Godspeed Carl...
