___ 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 PCN Flight 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).

I have been informed by his devoted and gracious wife Erika that a good friend and retired WAL/DAL pilot, Capt C.A. "Neil" Meyer, had passed away on June 26th. Like many of you, I flew with Neil a lot back during my B-727 F/O days. He was always a gentleman, and always enjoyable to fly with. A few of us had joined Neil and Erica at their home for dinner just over a week so before he passed.  Although the ravages of aging had taken some toll on his ability to get around, Neil was still active and a big factor in keeping the Camarillo pilot luncheon group together. His consistent and jovial presence at that monthly event always gave an extra measure of friendship to the atmosphere. I am glad we got to spend this fun  time with him and Erika so close to the end of his life.
Though I personally haven't seen anything on this news from any source as yet I'm sure more will be forthcoming.
Meantime, condolences, cards etc.  may be sent to Mrs. Erika Meyer,   1617 Ridgeway Dr.   Glendale, Ca.  91202-1218.  Thanks.                 
 
Regards and best wishes,
 
William Todd
