Great to fly with, a good friend and when it came time to fly a desk Bill made a huge contribution to the pilot group's wellbeing and their working conditions. RIP mate.

Bill was one of the captains who I really enjoyed flying with, in my early NAC days - a no fuss aviator, and a really nice guy ...RIP.

Knowing you were rostered to fly with Bill made going to work a real pleasure and something to look forward to.
