Very different from the airline industry which still honors lifetime flight and lounge passes sold decades ago.

That’s not the story I’ve heard. What I’ve read are stories of airlines who regretted the deals and went after those who used them extensively, looking for excuses to revoke them:

Anyhow, the Mark Cuban article says almost nothing about how the airline treated him, it’s just a light human interest story about an unusual and quirky thing a famous person did.

If the claims in the article are true around 2.5k cancellations and ticket reselling, I'd say they found great reasons to revoke these airpasses.
