Skift Take
Considering that Delta is being fined a second time for a similar transgression and can use more than half of the fine to buy tablets, the DOT is letting Delta off very easy.
The government is fining Delta Air Lines Inc. $750,000 for bumping some passengers involuntarily, without offering compensation or seeking volunteers first.
Airlines sometimes sell too many tickets for a flight, and have to "bump" some or move them to a later flight. If travelers don't volunteer, the airline has to compensate them.
