IN MEMORY

In Honor of Ricardo Newton NWA2000 DTW Hub Manager

(August 7, 1965 - June 19, 2016)

On June 19, 2016 we lost not only a "Great" staff member here at Virtual Northwest Airlines but we lost a great friend and part of our family as well. Detroit Hub Manager NWA2000 Ricardo Newton was a dedicated member of Virtual Northwest with an "Awesome" personality that was willing to help any one that joined our VA that was having any issues especially his hub family at DTW. He was a great asset to our Management Staff and will be surely missed. His love of flying was obvious based on the amount of time you would see him logged on to the wACARS system as well as the VatSim network, especially his love of flying the weekly NASCAR Charters. This is evident by his NASCAR Charter Stats from 2013 to 2016 of 887 flights, 2047 hours, and a total net revenue of over 60.4 million in his NASCAR Charter Career. Now hows that for dedication.

Ricardo joined vNWA back in August of 2013 and flew weekly till his last flight on the day he passed away June 19 2016. His love of flying and dedication to this VA can be verified by his 1833 flights with 4751 hours logged in his 2 years and 10 months of being with vNWA. Those are impeccable stats showing his love and dedication of flying here at vNWA. Again he will surely be missed with his bubbly personality and dedication to his Hub Pilots. He was born in the USA in the State of Kentucky but had been residing over in Germany working as a contractor for the US Government at Ramstein AFB (ETAR).

To all DTW Pilots,

The DTW Hub has an available Hub Manager Position and is open for applications. If you are interested check the vNWA Policy manual for requirements, and send an email to Devin Caliri, Director of Hub Operations at devincaliri@gmail.com
