  • may not refuse to transport a passenger holding a confirmed reserved seat on a flight to provide a seat for another passenger, regardless of whether such passenger is an air carrier employee;
  • negotiates and solicits a volunteer to relinquish his or her space before boarding the aircraft; and
  • if necessary, continues to increase the amount of compensation offered until a volunteer willingly accepts the offer in exchange for relinquishing a confirmed reserved seat.
