If they are 121 qualed and commuting to work from their home, that sounds legit to me. Just because they usually work in an office doesn't matter.
However...if they are jumpseating from domicile to/from one of your company's outstations to conduct business, that would be business travel and could get them banned from the JS is the right folks found out.
Their airline had a flight leaving shortly after this flight. It was oversold. They could have been on it positive space, but chose to go offline to preserve revenue and jumseats for pilots of their airline.
