He was involved with the recent meetings between DALPA and Compass. He was a great leader and pilot.

He received the ALPA airmanship award for his actions with a onboard fire in 2008. I imagine this will have a lasting impact on the Compass pilot community and could cause a impact with the entire process.

Some may know Captain Peterka from his time flying the DC10 for Sun Country, the 747 for Polar or the Airbus for Jet Blue.
I stand correctged the accident happened in carrington nd. The article can be found at the bismarck tribune. Also google his name and you can read up on his alpa superior aviation skills award for his handeling of a lav fire at 32000 feet. The aviation field lost one of the "good guys"
