The Civil Aeronautics Board proposes tougher penalties for airline overbooking to compensate bumped passengers. The plan would pay up to 400 dollars for displaced travelers when no timely alternate transport is provided, with a 50 to 400 dollar range and a minimum 25-dollar baseline. The rule includes a 45 day comment period and requires airlines to seek volunteers before bumping passengers.
