So what is removing bags and/or pax due to excess weight if not "protecting passenger safety"?
Weight and balance issues are quite common with smaller regional jets. As mentioned up thread, airlines aren't even required to provide IDB comp if removing pax from a CRJ-100 or -200 for these reasons, so the voucher is a goodwill gesture.
