Best wishes for a complete recovery
from a US CP. I used to live in Seattle area & I have a built-in Boeing bias, but almost all my US flights these days are on 321s. I have appreciated all the knowledgeable and insightful posts from Jim.

This is very sad news. I have an uncle who was in a serious motorcycle accident, so I know how tramatic it can be. Best wishes to Jim, and everybody else try to stay safe.

Best wishes to you, Jim. We miss you here and are sad for the reason why. I hope during your recovery process that FlyerTalk can be a distraction for you.

I too appreciate Boeing Boy's unique perspective and ability to blend the point of view of a captain, passenger, operations insider, etc. He is an invaluable member of this community and I hope he is back soon!
