I don't see why firing needs to be done over this. We can't really be held responsible for other people's actions. Like you give a buddy pass to a friend, you think he's all right, you explain the situation, suddenly, he snaps at what he perceives to be bogus treatment or whatever, doesn't understand the situation though you explained it to him but he did it anyway. How can we know this will happen. If the airlines is so concerned about this, why do they hand out the buddy passes in the first place right? I would just rake the guy over the coals and tell him something like...."Better luck next time you pick a numb nut to give a buddy pass to, because, he just became your "buddy !@#@!er"!
