Yes, consensus of how to vote. The other reps were part of the cabal to destroy Roberts through personal attack, so they'd obviously already decided how to vote. What they needed to make clear to you was that you would be recalled if you didn't vote their way. You did that. The sad part is, I don't think you would have been recalled. The ATL voter intensity would have been very strong from people like me and the relatively junior people that elected you to promote change. If you hadn't caved in to the threats of recall, the failure of them attempting to recall you would have made you the most influential rep in ATL.

Like I said acl, you really blew it with that vote.

No doubt it would have been the best course of action for you if Roberts had resigned! Then you could have continued talking out of both sides of your mouth and make all ATL pilots think you held their position.

This is a very interesting statement on your part. I guess I could put together a bunch of my ATL based pals and hamstring you in every way possible in your rep duties. Including having guys write unfounded letters about how you left them high and dry during hearings against management, etc. you know, real cheap shot stuff. Then we could say: "Look acl, a recall vote would look to divisive...best course of action here is you just resigning." You're saying you'd go along with that? You wouldn't want your due process?

I know exactly why Nestor did not appear on that first letter. Pure politics. When Nestor did that, he made himself the swing vote. He knew that. He just didn't think his fellow ATL reps would then use that swing vote status against him by threatening his recall. Now it's quite publicly clear that the swing voter caved in to pressure.
