I don't know that I'd vote for anyone who wears long sleeve pilot shirts!
I mean really!
I think he's got a great platform, hope he gets elected.
Ahhhhh........you must be an airline pilot with such keen eyesight!!! It DOES look a bit like a long sleeve shirt, but if you look closely at his left sleeve, you'll see the hem mark (click on the photo and you'll easily see it). Ha!!! Detective Cluseau (or however you spell it) at work!
Isn't it funny... In "real life" I would never wear a short sleeved shirt with a tie....ever! (unless I was about to join the Geek Squad at Best Buy... which after the unemployment numbers out today might just happen) But in uniform, the long sleeves look funny. I guess it is just what you are used to.
Interesting... this sounds a lot like our resident ACL65. Anyhow, I love how he's all for unity with DCI but then calls us the "competition" and is fearful of "regional power" at the next BOD. So what is it dude... are with us or against us? Yup, I get he's going to be a DL mainline rep and his interests are for DL pilots only. But don't act like unity is going to solve the scope problem, when you're really not that interested in being UNIFIED. Mainliners will never want total unity with their regional "brothers." They'll have to give up too much to achieve that and in the end, it's just not worth it. Thus, the cycle continues. Beatings, blame and complaints.
Position: "...that's right, ma'am: not a 'pilot', just a 'co-pilot'..."

What's interesting to me, when going the through the website (which is nicely done), is how little substance there is. Lots and lots of optimistic talk, about how things should be, and how we wish they were, but little in the way of how to get there. And lots and lots of indirect complaining about the current MEC, but that's about it.
Assuming he's elected, I wish him well, and hope we don't suffer from the rude awakening I fear he will endure. I hope he's a quick study, and that his intellect is equal to the task. It's going to take a lot more than a virtual campaign, and web-based virtual friendships to make this work.
One topic about which he is 100% correct: the current MEC's communication efforts are poor. So poor that it's opening the door for a guy to ride the Scope wagon, a couple of years experience, a few hundred internet posts, and a few dozen rumors, to a seat on the MEC.
Of course, this only tells me that the current MEC's communications have set the bar so low that anyone could have crossed it. It says little about the people likely to cross that bar. Thankfully, there is more to an individual than a website, so there is still room to hope we will be impressed. The optimist in me hopes this will effect a constructive wake-up call, and that Nestor, if elected, would contribute to a better MEC, and better contracts.

What would you like his interests to be in regards to the regionals?
