CAB alters bump rule on airlines
A CAB ruling ends automatic compensation for bumped passengers starting in December. Airlines owe the cost of a one way ticket to the destination with a minimum of 37.50, no pay if a later flight reaches within an hour. Aviation groups warn of higher bump rates as airlines adjust. Midland Regional Airport staff note mixed views on the change.
