There are limits to how badly you can treat people who are paying you for a service before they stop muttering under their breath and become hostile.

I think it would serve these airlines who don't care about passengers if foreign airlines were allowed to fly domestic routes. We would see the end of surly flight attendants and cattle car packing of passengers. Maybe then our own airlines would show concern for their passengers.

I think they should start to force airlines to hand out cash to bump you rather than useless "company credit".

Almost a half million people get bumped every year, ten percent of that are "involuntarily bumped" or rather, forced off.

The airlines do this because there is no down side for them. All they have to do is give you company credit. That will ensure that the next time you have to fly you will choose them because you want to use up your "credit". And since the credit only applies to full price fares they might be out only a few dollars or perhaps nothing at all.

Make it cash, they have to give you a voucher for a nice meal if it is under two hours and if it is over four they have to comp you a room at the airport hotel.

The airlines would suddenly discover that bumping people cost and they would stop doing it except in case of emergency.
