Budget-airlines Quote by Steven Magee
““There is a fraud going on in the airlines regarding bumping passengers from their flights. A passenger that is bumped from their flight is entitled to compensation. If the airline documents that bumping as a ‘No Show’, the passenger is not entitled to compensation. Incorrectly recording passengers as ‘No Show’ saves the airline money and keeps its bumping numbers artificially low.””
About This Quote
