ATL-BZE oversold, DL would only go up to $800 for a 24-hour bump. We had been before so we took it. But they needed more. Redcoat said they were not authorized to go above $800 since it was a result of a downgrade in equipment, not a true oversell. Even after going on the plane, they were unable to secure the 1 additional person they needed.
They had to split up a party of 3 -- a family with a sick child (she had meds, oxygen, and all). Mom and girl went, dad stayed behind and was bumped involuntarily. Since this did not count as IDB under the law, he got the same $800 in Bastian Bucks that was being offered all along.
