JFK Delta Peeps: JFK 767ER Captain Brian McManus

Here's a quick B-Mac story.

We did a trip to Madrid about a year ago, spent about 80% of the trip laughing our asses off to the point that the A-line called up front to see if everything was alright a few times.

Anyway, we were all going to meet downstairs for happy hour after the standard nap before heading downtown for tapas and cocktails.

Brian really didn't nap that day, figured he'd head down to the Plaza Mayor early and he slid $100 and a note under my door which said "I might get caught up downtown, so just in case I don't make it back to the hotel, here's money to buy the first couple of rounds for whoever shows up. Don't let the new hire pull out his wallet. -Brian".

I still have that note somewhere, I'll have to scan it.

That's a cool story. May he RIP :(
 
Was he at the ALPA negotiations training seminar? His name sounds so familiar and I can't put it to a face.
 
Dough-

Do you know what happened to him? I'm assuming it wasn't sickness considering someone just returned from a NCE trip with him. Sounds like he was a true class act.... RIP and God bless.
 
I am very sorry to hear about Brian. Great guy and captain! I've flown with him several times to Accra. We played a good bit of tennis (he kicked my behind) and enjoyed the pool. Abraham will be saddened by the news. On one trip a few of us went to a quarter final match between Ghana and Nigeria during the Africa Cup soccer tournament which was a blast for all. His love of sport and aviation was only exceeded by his love for his family. Please convey my condolences to them. May he rest in peace!
