Wonder why they are not suing ER that treated and released him. Unlike the American Airlines, The did violate their policy, which was to ensure that he could be discharged to a safe place. Although they probably didn’t recognize Alzheimer’s
It sounds like the people who needed to learn something failed miserably. Blame the airline? Don't be ridiculous. Ditto what Anonymous said.
Who would allow an Alzheimer's patient to fly alone? That's insane. The family needs to take responsibility for this and not blame the airline.
