Oh no. I'm not saying it's AA's responsibility. I was just saying I understand a lot of people don't check the bills to see if they were charged.

Why would AA's system show ticketed in the first place? I would say more than checking card statements, something should have been seen as fishy when an actual ticket that you could change seats on never appeared. I assume that when the card was declined, the record was taken off.

However, given the older age, some loved one should have been in charge of this whole thing.
