I knew things were a little rough in St. Louis right now, but it's really saying something that someone will steal $79k just to fly away from there.

They were probably able to do this because of WN's previously poor IT but recent enhancements to WN's IT now make it much easier to track fraud.

Crime is rarely rational. There is more electronic capabilities to detect and track crime than ever but some people either are ignorant of those capabilities or think they won't get caught.

TLDR: wouldn't happen on Delta, bc everyone knows Delta has industry-leading IT.

no. you're not serious.

You are a fraud. A faceless coward that is incapable of stringing two coherent thoughts together so you prey on those that can.

Rather than cracking down on employee fraud maybe spend the effort to crackdown on the jetway Jesus who baptized all those wheelchair people.

The airline literally had to change their entire business model to end these miracles.
Never believe them if they say that seat assignments had nothing to do with this holy power.

Didn't your parents teach you it's better to be honest and NOT to steal??

I saw a similar thing in the latest video of The Flip Flop Traveler. From his understanding, someone, most likely an employee of the airline, puts a bogus frequent flyer number on the booking created via a temporary email with the goal of hoarding miles from unsuspecting customers. The scammer went even further and accessed and misappropriated one of his credit card. The reason why he's pretty certain that it comes from an employee is that he booked a cheap flight, tried editing his FF number and couldn't.
