Some have previously suggested that the absence of DL jumpseat/non-rev records is enough evidence. It’s not. There’s a reason why most of their termination attempts are eventually unsuccessful.
They don't need to prove every time, just enough to show a pattern. The pilot probably left a trail, whether they knew it or not. I'm interested to see if they get their job back.
