Barry is not pretentious at all. The last time I saw him in person is on a flight from DFW to OKC. He was in coach class just a couple of rows in front of me. There is no doubt he could afford to buy out all of the first class seats if he wanted to.

I'm sure he could also make a call and have a private flight arranged, either on his own or from a friend. Who wouldn't let The King take their jet down to Dallas?

But, yeah, I get the feeling the guy genuinely likes normal people. Certainly one of the reasons he always recruited so well. He never, ever forgot his roots, and I've never, once, heard a story about him treating anyone other than kind. I mean, he's not Mother Teresa, but I think he's a good old living legend who enjoys being exactly that.
