___ 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).

~ IN MEMORY ~

NWA Capt. Dino Oliva

MARCH 10, 1933 ~ OCTOBER 31, 2023

 


From the RNPA/Retired Northwest Pilots group….the passing of a great friend and colleague….

 

Dear Friends and Colleagues,  

It is always especially difficult when one of our NWA pilot leaders dies.

Perhaps especially difficult when that leader served our ranks long after

any expectations of a reasonable time. Such was the case with Dino Oliva.

 

Captain Dino Oliva, age 90, died at home on October 31st after a month of

medical rehabilitation.

 

Dino was hired by NWA on March 13, 1959. He served the NWA pilots for years

by holding ALPA LEC offices. After retirement he served RNPA (Retired NWA

Pilots Assn.) as Treasurer during an era when dues collection and recording

was a major endeavor. Until his health started to fail, Dino was a Vice President of RNPA.

 

Dino and his wife Karen reside in Sarasota, Florida.

 

There will soon be a designated pilot obituary posted on the RNPA website.

Standby for more details.

 

With profound respect,

 

Bill Day
