Well, Delta should have kept up their end of the bargain and kept an eye on this guy if they said they would. But seriously, why would someone, as a family member, allow an elderly man with Alzheimers to fly by himself without an escort on anything other than a non-stop trip? Especially one who has a kidney ailment requiring dialysis? That's just way too much to entrust to someone else. You can't get from LGA to ELP because of certain perimeter rules limiting where you can go from LaGuardia airport (rules that were designed to keep Newark and Kennedy in business). The only way you may be able to get a non-stop is from Newark. Why they wouldn't escort him themselves is a great question. I know I would have in the same situation.

I know I would have in the same situation.You know, I definitely should've considered the perimeter rule, since my job requires I have some familiarity with the Washington Reagan perimeter (to help keep Dulles in business when it opened)...I guess I'm just subconciously biased into thinking we're the only shmoes who have that rule :)
