Some years ago, when greenslips were flowing freely, there was a bit of a scandal. There were several ALPA pilots who would drop trips for ALPA business and then pick up greenslips over part of that period.

Some concerned pilots were monitoring this self dealing and would post schedules showing trips being dropped for "ALPA business" and the subsequent greenslip awarded trips of the offending pilot on the bulletin boards.

I don't recall specifically if WS was one of those but I believe it occurred around the time he was the ATL LEC chairman.

There was also a LEC chairman in SLC who became a SLC Chief Pilot; initials JM.
