The Man with the Golden Airline Ticket
I'm really struggling to get my head around the emotional trauma here.  He bought the unlimited ticket, got many multiples of value from it over 30 years, and then they renegged.  Had they never offered the ticket, he would have paid much more overall (even though he would almost certainly have also flown less), and would only be exactly where he is now: a poor schlub who has to buy airline tickets to travel.  Where is the loss?
