BOB HAMMARLEY 1974 - 1986 MANAGER-FLIGHT OPERATIONS PLANNING, PILOT DEN With regret, the GONE WEST of F/O Robert Hammerly (need info) -FARPA Newsletter (5/4/05) US Airways Employee Retirements - July 2003 Robert Hammarley, Metrojet Captain, BWI -http://www.justplanenews.com/retirementsjuly2003.html (7/4/05) I've been tracking Bob and think I have found info on him. Did he go with US Airways after Frontier and did he get involved as an ALPA officer? I just read a history of ALPA which mentions a former Frontier pilot named Hammarley being MEC Chairman at US Airways. -Jake Lamkins (7/5/05) Bob did a lot of project stuff for Ed O'Neil after coming with Frontier. He flew the line some as well. After Frontier he went, I think, with Piedmont which ended up part of USAir then USAirways. He was on their MEC. Later he became the Executive Administrator under Randy Babbitt's ALPA presidency. Randy was the Executive Administrator under Hank Duffy. Bob Williams was our Executive Administrator. I believe the Frontier pilot group was the first to implement that position within the MEC structure. Later other MEC's did the same. After seeing Williams effectiveness, I am surprised we didn't think of doing that earlier. According to Randy Babbitt, Bob Hammerly did an excellent job as the National ALPA E.A. He was very pleasant to be around. I worked with Bob on many occasions and thought a lot of him. Bob retired to Florida. Later, I heard he was ill, but was surprised and saddened to hear of his "Flight West." I have not yet learned of the circumstances surrounding his demise. -Billy Walker (7/5/05) I knew of Bob's death. He was hired in the first class of Frontier pilots at US Air in October, 1986. He got initially involved with ALPA over there through an ad hoc committee called the B=scale committee. He was later the MEC chairman at the combined Piedmont/US Air/PSA as a compromise leader that had no history with any of those airlines. He was an excellent leader because he was a pragmatist...and a likeable one at that. He helped Babbitt get elected and they got along well so Randy hired Bob to be his Admin. Assist. He stayed at my house in Denver for the 2nd or 3rd reunion at Frontier, before I moved east. He had already moved, with Gail, (she died of cancer 3 years ago), to Pittsburgh. I went to lunch with him once in DC when he lived part time in Georgetown and part time in Key West. I don't know for sure, but I heard that he died from emphysema. -Rich Schwartz (7/7/05) FLacebook - FL Cluib FLight West: Bob Hammarley DEN pilot Bob Hammarley's memorial webpage has been upgraded: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Bob_Hammarley.html Still need a photo and obituary for Bob. -Jake Lamkins (5/28/15) R J HAMMARLEY M DOB 11/20/42 DOH 6/14/74 Per the Dec 1984 Pension Records.
