There seems to be a bit of a misconception about a buddy pass. My friend works for Air Canada and I am on his list for his buddy passes. They do allow you to fly for quite a discounted rate, about $200 round trip to anywhere, but they are not free flights. In the end, he is indeed still a customer.
More than anything, this is the check-in desk's error. They shouldn't have allowed him on the plane on his stand-by pass as there were no empty seats left. The flight attendant may have been an employee, but her seniority puts her priority above his when it comes to flying stand-by.
