True or false the department of transportation regulation stipulate that no one may be denied boarding involuntarily until airline personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up the reservation willingly and exchange for some form of compensation

When a flight is overbooked, the airline must first try to find volunteers who are willing to give up their seats in exchange for compensation. Only if there aren’t enough volunteers may someone be involuntarily denied boarding, and even then the airline must follow specific rebooking and compensation rules. This approach is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and applies to flights to and from the United States, including international operations, not just domestic ones or based on flight length. Therefore, the statement is true.
