The lass in North America need to change with stiff IDB compensation and stiff fines in some cases.

I don't know the point of having IDB compensation if compensation is limited to oversales only; why the DOT excluded compensation for travellers incovinenced through no fault of their own will always be a mystery to me.
We all pay one way or the other. It's not like the much-vaunted European comp comes out of the CEO's salary. European travelers pay in the fares.
