I'm not a fan of TW's but you're telling a story that the room was 21-1, or 15-1, and he spoke up and suddenly his position is the majority? He convinced a majority of 15 or 21 pilots that they were wrong and he was right? Maybe that's why the DFW base, many who actually know him, vote for him? Because he doesn't get run over by the majority if his position has merit and he convinces them to rethink their position?

The only public instance of BOD reps using questionable ethics on the j/s that I've seen was the PHL rep who used his union pass privileges to displace a guy on a D2.
If you're anything other than A1, and know your travel date and time beforehand, you can list yourself ASAP and your Ax pass becomes positive space if there's seat 'inventory' available. With a couple of days notice there's always seat inventory available. Training, with up to several weeks notice? Guaranteed PS seat. No need to Jumpseat.

Any facts? Date? Flight? Or just unsubstantiated rumors?

I believe the story was on C&R. You're familiar with C&R, aren't you Slice?

There was a known story of Glorious Senior Captain TW A12'ing to one of his many residences (not a known fact, just from this thread) and the Primary, who had reserved the Jumpseat 7 days out per protocol, asked Glorious Senior Captain TW as he approached the gate, "You're not going to steal my Jumpseat from me are you?" And Glorious Senior Captain TW stated smugly, "Yep."
I believe the story was on C&R. You're familiar with C&R, aren't you Slice?

And if "it's his thing" guys should publicize it everytime it happens.
I think with enough lead time A12's are PS.
Line up some other candidates and run against him. DFW guys have supported him in the past. You might need proof, if this is one of the issues guys use to unseat him, to undermine his current support.

They did a workaround that isn't good IMO. When the primary cancels, the alternate becomes the primary, and is notified via text or email...but has to re check in. So they lose their place in line in the non-rev queue. No big deal on a full flight where you'll be in he cockpit anyway, but on a flight with open seats, could cost you a first class seat, or put you into a middle seat.
