For the curious, you can still purchase an Aairpass today, though not too shockingly,
American Airlines no longer offers an unlimited version.
According to an internal report from American Airlines in 2007,
the top unlimited Aairpass holders cost the airline in excess of a million dollars that year,
each.
Amusingly given how it all turned out, Rothstein once met the aforementioned American Airlines chief executive Robert Crandall during a flight, prompting the then CEO to send Rothstein a letter
saying,“I am delighted that you have enjoyed your Aairpass investment.
In one such case, it was noted in an internal email from American Airlines that the individual in
question who would been given a ticket by Aairpass owner Jacques Vroom,“appears to be naive,
without financial wherewithal, and most probably very anxious to return‘home'”.
