Per the release, between 2018 and 2024, Alexander booked free flights on an airlineâs website, which were only available to pilots and flight attendants. He reportedly flew on 34 flights through the carrier âby posing as a flight attendant who worked for other airlines.â Furthermore, on the website that he used to book the 34 flights, he claimed he worked for seven different airlines. Additionally, he allegedly claimed he had 30 different badge numbers while noting various hire dates.
But thatâs not all. Per the release, evidence presented at Alexanderâs trial showed that he posed as a flight attendant on three other carrier websites. In total, he allegedly booked more than 120 flights â all for free â by posing as a flight attendant.

Additionally, the jury convicted Alexander of âentering into a secure area of an airport by false pretenses.â Per the release, Alexander is scheduled to be sentenced on April 25. Per NBC News, he faces a maximum of 20 years for wire fraud, 10 years for âentering the secure airport areas under false pretenses,â and a $250,000 fine.
Additionally, the outlet notes that Alexanderâs indictment asserted that he did work at an airline headquartered in Dallas since 2015. However, he was never a pilot or a flight attendant.
âWhile Alexander was able to board flights by fraudulently obtaining a boarding pass, he underwent all applicable TSA security procedures, including ID verification and physical screening, and did not pose a threat to other airline passengers. TSA remains dedicated to the security of the flying public and will continue to support the prosecution of those who break air travel laws,â the administration reportedly noted, per the outlet.
