Why would they not? You think an airline is going to risk massive fines for the sake of some schmuck? That way lies inanity.
And Democrat millionaires fly coach. Right? Reynolds has plenty of people willing and able to spirit him out of the country via private plane or yacht. Yes, they're breaking laws, but they break laws all the time and get away with it, I fail to see why all of a sudden they'd start following them for this "schmuck."
It's naive to believe laws and court orders mean a thing to these people. If Reynolds wants to get to SA, he'll get there, without swimming.
