....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.

Dudley, Edwin L. Jr.
"Dusty"68, of Prescott Valley, Arizona passed away on February 26, 2016,
in Prescott, Arizona. The son of Edwin L. and Olga R. Dudley, Dusty was born in
Port au Prince, Haiti while his parents were there due to his father's military
service with the U.S. Army. He grew up in Tempe, spent a brief time in Oklahoma
with his family, and then later returned in 1965 to attend Mesa College and
Arizona State University. He later graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University. At a young age, Dusty became a Ham Radio operator and eventually got
licensed. He also developed an intense interest in aviation and began flying by
the age of 15. He received his general aviation license shortly thereafter and
worked for several companies to obtain flying hours. After working as the
manager of Cave Creek Airport, he did further work in aviation in the South and
elsewhere before becoming a pilot for Scenic Airlines. Dusty then became a pilot
for Hughes Air West Airlines, which merged into Republic Airlines. He became a
Captain following the subsequent merger with Northwest Airlines. After leaving
them due to a medical issue, he worked for America West Airlines in their
training department before retiring. He is survived by his wife Donna Dudley,
his children Wendy Kuhns and Dusty Dudley, Jr., as well as his sisters Grace
Burdette and Linda (Linn) Thome.
