Why Delta Air Lines Paid Me $11,000 Not to Fly to Florida This Weekend
- plg 10y agonever heard of Air Canada offering cash ... only ever heard them offer Air Canada vouchers (which expire in 1 year and have a whole lot of other esoteric rules)
- wjnc 10y agoThat just means that they will be a lot less flexible intimes of trouble (and hence less customer friendly).
- mac01021 10y ago$11k was the total compensation for 3 people getting bumped from 2 flights each. Nothing to sneeze at, but not nearly as spectacular as the headline might make you think.
- eatbitseveryday 10y ago> 3 people getting bumped from 2 flights each Right, but not 3 independent people; the 11k goes to one entity -- a family. The family got bumped twice. The way you phrase it, it sounds like the author of the article actually only received 11/3 = $3.6k which is slightly misleading.
- paulddraper 10y agoI would think that is less misleading. It doesn't really matter if it was a family of 3 or a group of 3 friends.
- TomMarius 10y agoIt does matter just like total household income matters.
- valuearb 10y agoIt's exactly what the headline implied. Family money is still her money.
