The movie to this book came out in 2009, obviously there are change in events between these two dates, another factor that changes the movie aside from saving screen time. The book came out on the year in when a new historical date was created, 9/11, which when terrorists flews planes straight into trading towers. After the shock wore off from that event many people became to believe it was an act of conspiracy. In the novel Up in the Air, the main character ,Ryan Bingham, later on believes he himself is within a conspiracy made by the airline he is loyal too. However in the movie that conspiracy he talked about is removed, the message of the content is changed as well. In the novel, the writer gives the message that big companies are more powerful than we think, meanwhile the movie gets a different message, its message is telling us to "grow up" and "stop being children". This change in message happened because of the economy downfall that happened over the eight year gap between the novel and movie.
