Plus, I don't feel like his grief about Samantha or anything else has hindered him. Unlike Riley, who's become an alcoholic, he still manages to get his work done, he's even out at the Airport working on the chopper and has been willing to help out whenever he can. While he's not my favorite character, I think he's a great boon to the tower.
the whole watching people die thing is only an excuse for so long, his attitude annoys people. that and his fake accent. And riley gets stuff done, she just may or may not be buzzed when she does it.
