giving access to the world like he had? it did no such thing.
the pass was $250k in the early 80s. that is a tremendous amount of money for a 37 year old in current year.
this was an individual, a family, so far removed from commoners that the parents had it in the contract to fly on separate planes, one after the other. lest both parents be lost in an accident.
what a luxury, to be able to even pause to consider such contingency planning. let alone to have the means to pursue it.
while the airline was wrong, this is no sob story.
