Are airlines embarrassed by this?

Do the HR departments at airlines feel the pain of hiring grifters who masquerade as full time charter pilots on social media while they are actually employed by a major airline, and don’t even put their actual employment on their LinkedIn page? People like this sell courses and conduct entire seminars under false premises. I mean this guy, for example, claims to run his own charter company while he is actually an FO at American. Do they allow them to go on permanent leave while they run their charter op or is it purely a social media grift? Just wondering if anyone has any insight.
