So if Delta is cancelling flights right now, imagine if we vote this contract down how things could play out. Sure hope Delta doesn't blame the unhappy pilots for calling in sick or work slow down for the cancelled flights.

What is Nestor's excuse for selling out the FOs he represents?

I keep expecting him to send an email at least saying why he voted yes for a contract that will hurt the pilots he represents.

He said that our revenue per seat is down and he thinks our positioning is softening. He said something along the lines of he expects the company's profit to peak this year, then start falling as carriers add capacity. Thinks if we vote this down, next deal will be worse. He wrote it in a much more professional way, but that is what I took from his email to me off the top of my head.

I was told I must be personally wealthy to not give in and vote yes for this ta. My rep was borderline incredulous I wasn't voting yes. I didn't support a recall of reps but now I do. How can my rep not understand why people are so outraged.

Ok thanks. For some reason I didn't get his email. At least it's better than the pilots need a chance to vote on it copout.

This guy is a true disappointment. Tell us how he is for the pilots, but actions speak louder than words. I believe he is for promoting himself with the insiders hoping to jump on a long career as an ALPA insider. When it matters, he votes how he is told. Disgusting.

Former prolific poster and scope hound on here who was elected as an ATL FO LEC rep post-C2012 on a campaign of change - supported by many posters here - who was then promptly assimilated into the borg. Was pressured into voting for Kingsley Roberts' recall & has marched in lockstep with Harwood et al ever since.

ATL FO rep. He got elected because he said he was going to try and change ALPA. He said he believed in a bottom up organization. So far he has been a puppet for the CVG mafia.
