And to take action that might jeopardize a pilot's career on an assumption sounds like a legal bear trap. I'm sure the lawyers in HQ have thought this one thru.
Also, doesn't one have to "friend" another on Facebook to allow them into their page?
I seriously doubt they attempt to monitor rank-and-file pilots on the forums.
But managers and recruiters do check out the forums, mostly just to see what's going on in the business, and if somebody says "I'm interviewing next week", and then discusses some stupid background issue you can bet they're going to connect the dots if the person gives up much info about themselves.
An applicant who is discussing how to hide his criminal past or his checkride failures who is not very carefully about personally identifying info will get figured out. Remember, they can view your entire posting history...there's probably enough info there to match your forum posts to your resume.
