Yep. The employee can lose their flight benefits if caught selling buddy passes on the open market. This is a big no no.
And per the OP's post: "Now I went to Delta's actual airport ticket counter and all they would say was that they could not issue an actual ticket until 24 hours prior to boarding".
If these were truly buddy passes, they are still flying NRSA, and they won't have a ticket issued 24 hours prior to boarding. That's why I'm not buying the original post.
