        Oh, and according to the official criminal complaint Tweeted below, he was traveling on some sort of buddy pass or companion cert. I'm sure his friend/significant other must be proud.

              If you're an airline employee (don't know if you have to be a certain level or not) you can give out "buddy passes" to friends and family. Basically, you can book a flight for a minimal fee, REALLLLLLLY cheap, but you're basically stand-by. I had one from a former poster in here, around 2008-2012. Got to fly round trip to CO for $60, instead of $225~.

                Wow. Hopefully the employee won't catch crap for his buddy's behavior.

                  That is what I hope, also. You never know, though.

                    Assuming it's an employee in good standing, and they legitimately trusted this guy, they'll probably be OK. Just with a temp moratorium, and more scrutiny on future guests.

                    However, if they sold him the pass with any record of it, they're fcked; as they should be.

                      The employee will lose their flight benefits for at least a year. You are responsible for your pass riders. Most people who I know who can give out buddy passes don't give them out for this reason.

                        Yeah, I thought that would happen. It is after all a privilege extended at will by the airline.

                        The airline is also in a vise, too: they can't adjudicate case by case because of the risk of being sued for preferential treatment by employees they decided against. That's why employers have taken to hiding behind automatic policies. It avoids liability.

                        IINM employers won't even give ex-employees recommendations any more for fear of being sued by ex-employees they don't recommend.

                          Wouldn't have figured on a full 1-year suspension, but it makes sense.

                                She disproved the idiom though, since she did pi55 on him.

                                Let me know when she gets around to finding her way out of a wet paper bag.
