What kind of idiot family doesn't travel with an 80-year old sick man? Can Delta sue the family for deriliction of familial duty?

Some lawyer is going to make a bundle off this one...

Jetblue320,

I wasn't trying to be "an old man" or not be funny--but trying to bring up a point. You really have to wonder about people who would allow their dad to fly across the country by himself with alzheimers. I don't know if Delta was informed of this, and I don't know who might have been at fault here. Maybe there was a slip up-----or maybe there is a major case of neglect on the family's part. Regardless, I am sure Johnie Cochran was called....

Bye Bye--General Lee

It is not the first time that a person with Alzheimer's has been lost by an airline. In 2001, Margie Dabney, 70, became separated from her husband during an American Airlines stopover at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

This quote bugs me the most. So this chick was with her husband and got separated... and somehow that made it the airline's fault.

Does the media have no shame? Cant they see the airlines have enough problems without them sending mind melding crap into the populous?

I guess Helen Keller jokes would not go over well on this thread.

Yes, I know that. And I wasn't trying to be heartless, although some took it that way. I would have never even posted it if the outcome would have been anything other than a happy ending. Happy being that they found the guy. ANd maybe I used the wrong terminology when I said it was funny. What I meant by funny was like when a ski partner takes a header in the snow; the first thing you do is offer help and make sure they are OK, then if they are OK, then it becomes funny.

I too think it was probably the fault of the family traveling for not informing DL that he had Alzheimers. Of course, the press didn't point out that little factoid in their report did they?

Anyway, have a good one.

You too bud.

Media and facts, one of those oxy-moron things. Delta is the the current punching bag and everybody wants a swing. Makes 'em feel, powerful. Regardless, as my bud GL said, a lawyer is gonna make some cash cause it's the American way to be a millionaire, law suit. You probably could have taken out over half of Atlanta's lawyers who were at the hospital.
