@cerothstein Just read about your dad's airline story on Narratively, recommended by the Now I Know mailing list. I’m sorry for the way you were treated. If, by the grace of God, I ever become insanely rich enough to buy AA, I will reinstate the pass for your entire family.
You are too kind. Thank you for reading. And if you do become that rich, I hope you make sure you and your loved ones are accounted for first. :)
