I'm not sure why my wife did what she did, except that she has used that little airline for most of her life prior to coming to the US, and the regional airport is located within commuting distance to her hometown. It seems like she'd be a better judge of local behavior than an armchair quarterback anyway, being a local.Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-9775722017778201242009-07-09T10:36:29.527-07:002009-07-09T10:36:29.527-07:00You may not want to post this, but I had a day to ...You may not want to post this, but I had a day to think over that story and had to write something about it. Sorry.<br /><br />Let me apologize up front here, but after reading that story all I can say is that that guy really has no clue about how the world really is. I have traveled for most of my life as a field engineer and NEVER WENT ANYWHERE without having my passport and a paid return ticket in hand. What is this, "There was enough money left on the card to pay for the ticket.", stuff? <br />Am I to gather that he sent his wife and child out of the country and to what really amounts to a borderline third-world country without either of them having return tickets - or the funds necessary to support themnselves if BAD THINGS HAPPENED? <br />Hint: That's why they are called third-world countries.<br /> <br />Screw BoA for their part in this fiasco, but the root cause was the original lack of intelligence displayed by the guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
