Bumping Vulnerable Passengers Or Passengers At Their Connection City Has Got To Stop by Dans Deals. Should Common Sense Be Regulated? Key point for me is “it’s cheaper and easier to involuntarily bump a passengers instead of finding a volunteer”. That’s the real problem with involuntary bumping at the moment, there is no real incentive for them to find a volunteer. If involuntary bumping was $10,000 we’d be seeing a lot less of it. Completely agree with Dan that it’s also unfair to bump vulnerable passengers like this. Corporations are always going on about self regulation, if that’s the case for airlines they need to be doing a much better job on this.
