[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much did they offer to volunteers? We were on an overbooked American flight and they went up to $1k for volunteers. So we took it! We weren't in a rush and came away feeling happy about the whole thing.

Right, but it's all situational. It worked for you that particular day because you weren't in a rush. But I'm sure we've all had times when there is pretty much no amount of money that would allow us to be delayed (not wanting to miss a wedding or graduation or school play). Dr. Dao and his wife were returning from vacation. It was a connecting flight. I'm sure once they discovered their next opportunity to get home was the next evening they determined that the desire to be home was stronger than a pay off. If an airline is going to oversell flights or try to bump paid and seated passengers they need to have insightful staff ready to handle these situations in a way that leaves customers feeling reasonably good (like the PP above) rather than in the hospital with missing teeth. Can we all focus for a moment on the fact that this man is 69 years old?! WTF? And I'm sure investigations will show that he was targeted because of his age and race.  [/quote]
