Hello,
I have met Captain Al Haynes twice. Once while I was in the Navy he did a speech for a safety stand-down for COMNAVAIRPAC, and a certain number of people from each squadron at NAS North Island were selected to attend. Then about a year or so ago, I was waiting to jumpset to Roanoke, and who is standing beside me? Captain Haynes. He is a very humble and unassuming man, and he was very gracious. I sat in front of him on a TSA ERJ to Roanoke and he was kind enough to sign my trip log. JC is very fortunate to have him as a speaker. If you ever get the chance to read his 3-part account of the Souix City mishap in "Airline Pilot", I strongly urge you to read it. The articles were written in 1988 before he retired as a DC-10 Captain with UAL.
