___ 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).

NWA Capt. Jack F. Hamlin



Update to memorial for
Jack Fraser Hamlin

Obituary:

Capt. Jack Fraser Hamlin
May 3, 1938 ~ April 1, 2014

Jack attended Auburn High School

Washington State University and the University of Washington. After graduation from the UW, Jack was employed by Northwest Airlines as a line pilot, flight instructor and Director of Flying/Chief Pilot. He was also active with the Airline Pilots Association as a pilot labor contract negotiator and part of the critical incident response team. Jack retired after 32 years with NW Airlines. After retirement, he enjoyed spending time with friends and family at the home he built at Lake Cushman and was very active in the community there. Jack was the consummate erudite; his wit and wisdom will be missed.

Jack is survived by former wife Merrie, daughters Tracie & Paige, brother Donald and loving companion Lynn Waplington.
