STAN SHAW 1967 - 1973 PILOT SLC S E SHAW Pilot seniority date of 6/5/67 DOB 6-3-35 Per the Sep 1969 and Sep 1970 pilots seniority list. --------------------------------------- S E SHAW Emp# 07831 SLC first officer DOB 6/3/35 DOH 7/10/67 Per the Dec 1970 employees roster. --------------------------------------- S E SHAW Pilot seniority date of 6/5/67 MED 8/1/71 Per the Sep 1972 pilots seniority list. --------------------------------------- He is not on the Sep 1981 list. Nor is he on the 1972 five years service award list. Since he was on medical leave in Sep 1972, he probably left the company by 1973. I do not know why his pilot seniority date is earlier than his DOH. -Jake Lamkins (2/10/21) FLacebook Frontier Memorial Webpage Posted STAN SHAW 1967 - 1973 PILOT SLC http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Stan_Shaw.html Stan is the second death from COVID-19 in the FLamily.

Bernice Thoele Sincere condolences as I know how you feel (2/14/21) Pam Coffman Ellis Prayers for his family and friends Bonnie Dahl God Bless Stan! Sad to loss these great people who made Frontier great! Billy Walker We were good friends until we weren't! Cheryl's mother, Lillian Isman, worked for Stan and Norma Jean at their airport motel. Mom loved working for the Shaws. Stan was a wheeler-dealer. He came with Frontier about the same time I did. He knew how to impress. He flew into DEN in his P-51 'Mustang!' Not long after, I sold it for him to my boss, Joe Roach, the Mooney Distributor at Jeffco. Joe didn't think he needed a check-out and almost 'bought the farm' on his first take-off. I have a very vivid visual memory watching him somehow getting the nose down before he stalled. Stan was an amazing fellow. One time, he bought a used Hughes 264A helicopter, & taught himself how to fly it. Then he ferried it from SLC to California. Another time, he bought an old Stinson 108-3 and asked me to pick it up for him at SFO! Stan told me it was loaded for IFR. "Even has a flight director," he said. Cheryl went with me to fly it back to SLC. Larry Freer flew us out in his Dad's Cessna 182. I had been instructing Larry for his ATP. He was very sharp and, later, hired-on with Frontier. It was an uneventful flight into SFO albeit with low ceilings and visibility. We pulled in to where the Stinson was tied down. It was sharply polished. You could shave anywhere using the brightly polished metal as a mirror. Nice! Until I looked in the cockpit expecting to see a nice radio package and the flight director. The f'n airplane had a Narco VHT-3 'coffee-grinder!' And the Flight Director? It was a Coffing Industries bubble faced attitude indicator with a tiny plastic airplane hanging down. The idea was to fly formation with the little plastic airplane. WHAT! Then I made one of my most absolute dumbest decisions EVER! There was no way for me to fly AND work this radio. So, the plan (yup, we called it a 'plan') was for Cheryl and I in the Stinson to take-off in formation with Larry. No problem, Larry's Skylane had the 360 view windows and a rear-view mirror. 'Larry, just don't exceed 80 mph and when we pop-out on top, cancel the IFR clearance and we’ll go our separate way. ' What started as a very plausible arrangement went to heck in a hand basket! Take-off went fine, then 'POOF' Larry disappeared into the mirth. Just as suddenly, the Coffing Industries 'Flight Director' completely failed with the little airplane suddenly at the bottom of the bubble. Had it not been for all the needle-ball-airspeed training with partial panel, compliments of the excellent training department at good ol' FAL (Jack Robins, Roy Williams, Jack Gardner, Dave Kaplan, and Elmer Burson), Cheryl's and my love affair would have ended right there. Cheryl thought everything was just fine until we popped out thru the top of the clouds and saw sweat dripping off my forehead. The outside temperature was 28 degrees which caused us to quickly recognize our next challenge. There was no heater! We made it to EKO in VFR conditions. Thank goodness for the FAL/UAL 'wet lease' as we were able to thaw-out and then catch the return 836/837 flight to SLC and a strongly worded visit with my friend Stan. I don't remember now what happened to that airplane. For sure, I didn't fly it again. Larry made it back fine and, as I mentioned, later joined Frontier. Billy Walker Here is the story as to how Stan saved the day for me when I went to DEN for my year-end 'bet your job' check-ride in the 580 'sim.' Being based in SLC I had little opportunity to get to DEN to avail myself of simulator time. I had good reports from the captains I flew with, but I was a nervous-nelly. I had heard stories of guys who busted their year-end probationary check-ride and were dismissed. On the way to DEN in a Frontier 727, I sat in the middle seat between Bill McChrystal and Bobby Bagshaw. Bill was the SLC Chief Pilot then. Bobby, one of the best guys ever to share the flight-deck with, said, 'quit worryin' - you'll do fine.' Bill McChrystal was equally consoling. Nice, but it did not help. I was wringing-my-hands-nervous! When I arrived at the sim (then on Smith Road), I stepped into the back where a couple of seats were installed for observers. I watched Jack Gardner administer Stan Shaw's check-ride. I saw Stan make some glaring mistakes and thought, 'Oh Lordy, Stan is history!" And, I became more hand-wringing-nervous! Soon, Stan's check-ride was completed. Not only did Stan pass, Jack Gardner said little about what I thought were mistakes that would surely produce a failure. When I saw that Stan had indeed passed, I immediately relaxed and did better than ever before or after. Yup! Stan made my day back in 1968! We would laugh over that story many times. (2/15/21)
