I think it is tough when an incident happens to any of our companies.
Like Mig said, you see these fellow employees all the time.

I knew a few of the QX employees that were on AS 261 and that was tough to think about.

I also knew the First officer on Emery Worldwide 17 which went down near MHR airport in Sacramento. He was a relatively young guy with a wife and two young children. That really hurt! He used to light up like sunshine when talking about his kids.

I flew Valujet 594 from Miami to Atlanta about a month before 592 went down. I often thought they were probably shipping O2 generators on my flight too and I was just lucky...

Like you said Jumper, we could have been on that AMS-DTW flight. One of my co-workers was on the same flight a month before.
