“Don is relentless in his pursuit of equity and fairness, not only for the profession he represents but across all industry. We worked together through demanding negotiation campaigns as well as the unprecedented challenges brought on by the pandemic. In each of those moments, Don demonstrated steady leadership, thoughtful collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to the crews he serves.”

-Brian L. Coley, Former Spirit ALPA Vice Chairman

“I strongly believe that Corey has the passion, commitment, and skillset for the position he's seeking. And I am not the only one—just last week, at the annual AFA Board of Directors Conference, I watched as multiple flight attendants spoke on Corey's behalf, rightfully praising him before the entire AFA Board of Directors and our International Officers before he was duly appointed to the International Human Rights and Equity Committee in recognition of his relentless work and commitment.”

“Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to work with Don on some exciting new frontiers and in some familiar places. He has been active with AFA’s Human Rights and Equity as it has grown. He has been a constant contributor to the work the committee does. From our early triaging and work with CWA and Pride at Work. His skills at providing important research and information, sharing and posting, showing up at events, continuing his training, and filling in when and where he is needed are just a few of the things I think of when I think of how hard Don works for flight attendants' lives and livelihoods.”

“I have attended several training sessions, legislative fly-ins, and boot camps with Don over the past several years. He is an incredible advocate, not just for Flight Attendants, but for the labor movement overall. While he has an engaging temperament and is able to bring people together to work on joint projects, he is also a fierce defender of his members and your contract against management’s violations”

Jennifer Ritter, United Council 6 EWR AFA Vice President

“In his current role as the Local Council 37 Human Rights & Equity Chair, Corey has demonstrated a strong ability to lead with integrity while addressing complex and sensitive matters. His work reflects a deep understanding of the importance of equity, inclusion, and accountability within our union. He consistently goes above and beyond to support members and promote a culture where everyone feels valued.”

“I have known Reno for many years now, in his capacity as a Flight Attendant and a union

leader. Reno has always put the needs of his fellow flight attendants and union members first.”

“I call on Don when I’m mad, confused, worried, or looking for guidance. He answers every time. This is what is so necessary in an LECP. Someone who you can bring your troubles to, and he’s going to give it to you straight and find the path forward.”

Rebecca Owens, AFA Alaska + Hawaiian Council 30

“What stands out most about Don Reno is his consistent focus on advocating for the collective interests of us -the Flight Attendants, while maintaining transparency and trust. These qualities are essential in leadership within the Association of Flight Attendants, and Don exemplifies them in everything he does.”

Pallavi Paul-Caines, Spirit Flight Attendant
