Please accept my warmest and most sincere condolences on the loss of
Jim. I am a retired NWA employee and was frequently in touch with Jim
on email. I will always think of him as "BigBird747" which was his email
address. May he rest in peace.

I knew Jim for a short time at Nirthwest Airlines
But it was a pleasure interacting with Jim. He always had a smile and funny remark or joke to pass on. If you were pass riding on a flight with Jim in control, your glass was never empty, and the long flights seem to short with Jim around. In closing I was glad I could call Jim a friend. God Bless and Rest In Peace

Back in the day when we were only around 2,000 flight attendants at Northwest seems like everyone knew Jim Megee. Jim went to the New York base when it opened in 1981 and of course he was the #1 the big cheese on every flight. Everyone knew him or of him he could mix sober professionalism with a hearty sense of humor. He pulled over to a rest stop and called me on his way home from what would be his last flight.. There had been a fiasco at the gate upon arriving from a 13 hour flight from Narita Japan. The passengers were not allowed off the aircraft for hours-a frustrating situation indeed. He was furious and the shine was off the pumpkin for Jim and he said that's it I've had enough. He left a gaping hole in our little base, one that was never filled.
Goodbye Mr. Megee I hope you are having fun in heaven. oxox Miss Reller
James Where do I start? We flew together out of MSp then on to JKF when the base opened n had many “memorable” flts my children would love it when you called and would ask to speak with Junior Purser Mrs. Lackey! Always loved how we would meet every summer and spend the day together, one yr I’d take the ferry over to Lewis,DE and the next year you would call me and tell me when your “fleet” (the ferry) would be escorting you over for a visit, and tho you would tell me numerous times how you were living on a fixed income, you would always spring for lunch! My boys loved it when you came over to Sea Isle when we had the surprise party for Joe on his return from Europe they finally got to meet the man they talked to and grew up with in person. And Capt John (even tho you would leave some nasty smelling presents in the cockpit and slam the door ). Liked flying with you, he knew the cabin was in good hands when you were lead. We love you Jim we will miss you and wish you Blue Skies! Love, John,Claire,Joe,Jeff
Jim, was a good friend. He was a sharp, funny, smart and courageous guy. If I had only one word to describe my friend, Jim, it would he was a GREAT GUY!
