Can someone explain how he is able to drive (as I understand) but cannot read a reservation? BTW, the flight schedule is below for his flight. As you can see, it operated everyday except for the 15th. I feel bad for the guy but his story seems very embellished or the details are not correct.
His story may, or may not, be embellished (I have no idea since there are no closed captions), but driving and reading are two very different skills. I know several good drivers that can't read. I don't see how this can be used as a reason to say he embellished the story.

Can you elaborate on what the flight schedule proves?
