Not trying to make light of the situation, but as the saying goes the most dangerous part of flying is the drive to the airport

We've lost 2 pilots this year to car wrecks on their way to work. No joke, keep your head on a swivel and stay safe!

Sad,

RIP to him and the other guy. Prayers to the families & friends for the loss, sorrow & hurt these tragedies have caused.

Be safe out there people, even if you live in a small town.

Those commuting or who driving 1hr to over 2hrs for work. Limit your risk exposures. My opinion and experience is that NYC area has a ton of unaccounted for risks and less rewards. Dangers from various angles, city violations, risks from various sources & likelihood of negativity all over NYC boroughs. You might be safe, but external forces and risks exposures might be unavoidable. NYC is a growing problem.

Note there's a different GoFundMe set up for his wife and daughter. This is the one closing in on 30k so far.

Top donation on his wife's GoFundme? Bill Lentsch (Endeavor CEO) $5,000. THAT'S leadership. Proud to be led by such a man. Good on him.

If you look at the list of donors, dozens of EDV folks have offered support. Reinforces the type of group we work with. I just made a modest donation myself. Needless to say, we should all hold our loved ones a little closer this week.

RIP CA Ryan, the few times we crossed paths, you left a positive impression. Stay safe, everyone!
