2 dead in small plane crash in western Colorado, officials say

Violating regulations on bumping passengers from overbooked flights has landed Delta’s subsidiary Comair a $275,000 fine from the Department of Transportation.

Federal rules require that overbooked flights seek volunteers to give up their seats for compensation, and if no volunteers are found, a written statement must be provided, along with financial compensation.

Comair filed inaccurate reports regarding how many passengers were denied boarding.
