Sec. 250.3  Boarding priority rules.

    (a) Every carrier shall establish priority rules and criteria for 
determining which passengers holding confirmed reserved space shall be 
denied boarding on an oversold flight in the event that an insufficient 
number of volunteers come forward. Such rules and criteria shall reflect 
the obligations of the carrier set forth in Sec. Sec. 250.2a and 250.2b 
to minimize involuntary denied boarding and to request volunteers, and 
shall be written in such manner as to be understandable and meaningful 
to the average passenger. Such rules and criteria shall not make, give, 
or cause any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any 
particular person or subject any particular person to any unjust or 
unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any respect whatsoever.
    (b) [Reserved]
