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.

Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostIf 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.

Got to fly round trip to CO for $60, instead of $225~.Cornell University

Re: What the Fark 4: It's not unusual to be strange anymore
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.Jordan Kawaguchi for Hobey!!

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.
