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.
Recently heard of this tragic accident as well. Having gone through new hire training with Steve I think we both agree he was a great guy. I hadn't seen him in several years until this past Wed. I ran into him in the jetbridge in IAD as he was leaving from the weeks ALPA meetings and he seemed upbeat about his upcoming chance to go to DAL in the second class. It is truly sad to see something like this happen just short of someones realized goals.
I believe he was also our block 1 rep as well.
RIP Steve we will all remember you and the great stories.
