Delta sued by Shena employee
Here's an interesting development. A (former) Delta employee has sued Delta in South Carolina. In her lawsuit she admits that she (improperly) upgraded friends and family on Delta flights and was then fired for it (she claims other employees do the same and weren't fired and that her termination was due to her race etc). Setting aside the discrimination and other issues - at its heart - this is a lawsuit in which an employee clearly engaged in shenanigans, was caught and was fired.
If we assume that the termination wasn't improperly motivated, good for Delta for terminating an employee who didn't follow the rules. With the number of posts complaining about upgrade improprieties, here is some evidence that proves that it occurs (and an assertion that it is commonplace).
I'm not sure what the FT rules are about posting the pleadings - but they are a matter of public record in the federal court in South Carolina.

Searching for something like SC case search led me to:
https://dockets.justia.com/docket/so...cv02151/237485
https://dockets.justia.com/docket/south-carolina/scdce/2:2017cv02151/237485
But that page only seems to have basic info about the parties.
Also found this:
http://www.sccourts.org/casesearch/
http://www.sccourts.org/casesearch/
But following it to the relevant county site and searching there came up dry. The other page says it was filed three days ago, so maybe there's a lag time in when things get posted.

Even if a first offense she should be fired. It's employee theft and most companies terminate employees over employee on a first offense. When I delivered pizza's in college some driver tried this scam where if someone didn't use a coupon they would just tear one out of a flyer and put it in their bag creating an instant tip for the face amount of the coupon. Even though it only amount to $1 or $2 if the store found out the employee got terminated and in this case the Delta employee created a lot more than $2 of Fraud (IIRC the store started prosecuting employees as well, they would call people we delivered to asking a few questions like how the food and service was and one of the questions was if they used a coupon and if they said no the store was able to bust the driver).
