In 1987, a 37-year-old businessman became one of the 66 people who purchased Aairpass from American Airlines for $ 250,000, which gave him the right to an unlimited number of tickets to the first grade of airline.
Over the next years, Rothstein added a companion for another 150,000 dollars and was able to use them at his discretion, provided that one simple rule is observed - not to give his Aairpass.
The ardent traveler really adhered to the rule, even abandoning the tempting offer of a colleague who offered $ 5000 a week for using AairPass. However, he still fell into serious troubles.
American Airlines claimed that he was “fraught” using a pass, and that he made “speculative reservations” on flights that he never intended to sit on.
The airline also claimed that the first-class stewardess booking places for non-existent passengers under names such as Rotstein and Stephen Rothstein Jr..
In 2008, his ticket was canceled, and American Airlines even sued him.
" They stole my personality. They stole my love. They stole exactly what made me give them half a million dollars. And half a million dollars is probably like $ 5 million today.
And they did it maliciously. If a problem arose, it would be more correct to call me and say that they would like me to change the method of using Aairpass, ”said Rothstein himself.
It should be noted that the airline refused to sell unlimited travel agencies back in 1994.
