ty97 pointed out below that apparently they have caps set by law(?) of how much they can offer -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 10, 07:21 10
- I don't think it's a cap on what they *can* offer, I think it's a cap on what they *must* offer. - ty97 Apr 10, 07:22 9
  - Isn't that a floor? -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 07:25 8
    - I guess i should say, it is the amount they must offer. They can't offer less. They won't offer more. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 07:27 7
      - nope, they'll just have the cops forceable remove people. -- nm - decline Apr 10, 07:36
      - Reading the legislation, looks like they can't offer less or more - Roger More Apr 10, 07:34 5
        
        What would stop them from offering more? -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 07:36 4
        
        I don't know. The regulations would have some sort of enforcement mechanism, but I don't know if something like this be enforced in practice. -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 07:57
        
        or, "okay, we'll offer $1350, plus free flight vouchers." -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 07:39 2
        
        especially if they are bumping people for their own employees -- nm - decline Apr 10, 07:40 1
        
        While that man will not agree (nor would I in the situation), there's a net benefit to passengers if the crew gets on. - ty97 Apr 10, 07:54
