BTW - this is NOT a flame against your personal situation at all so please don't take it that way.

yeah, flying wouldn't be a problem, and they had planned to fly regardless, but he having to have a sudden quadrupler bi-pass, that turned into five, they really aren't flying at all right now.

They will, come new year, and more than normal, but won't most likely before then. Too difficult to fly, or for she to get away.

It is really funny. I am sure they would pay, and just not fly, but we all no that even though logical and most cost effective for UA, (get the money, don't have to fill the seat, can fill it with standby passenger, get more revenue goodwill) they won't allow it.
