I am wondering if this is something which can be done, if so it must be a good enough excuse. What are your thoughts on this situation?
His whole itinerary will be canceled if he misses the first segment.

If he simply shows up at EWR (And the itinerary was not yet canceled), he will likely have to pay the fare difference between PHL-LAX and EWR-LAX.
