___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

....just a note to add that Bob worked in a different capacity with Delta prior to becoming a pilot, I believe in the engineering dept......he first joined Delta Air Lines in November 1961....the pilot roster seniority date for Captain Carter is 02-14-1966.  Captain Carter was based MSY, MIA, ORD and retired the summer of 1997 based ATL.
     Thank you,

    We loved Bob so much. He always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. We in Tallahassee will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers to his lovely wife Carol and their family. Thoughts and prayers! Tim and Stephanie Jansen
