[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why is the passenger's personal info at ALL RELEVANT?   should airlines bump customers based on a subjective assessement of  what "good reasons" they have for wanting to go on the flight that they booked and paid for?

I'll bite:  I think that if it is an unemployed person that person should be automatically bumped first.  He or she doesn't have to get to work so they aren't a priority

Do you see how ridiculous this exercise is? [/quote]

I agree. Which is why "I'm a doctor, I need to see patients" isn't a good excuse to avoid the bump. Everyone on the plane has a valid reason to be at their destination in a timely manner.[/quote]

that's not true.  some reasons are more important than others--like visiting a dying relative, a wedding or a critical job meeting.  if united had offered a more compelling price to be bumped, people would have taken it...when I didn't have kids, I used to wish to be bumped so I could get a voucher.  United just didn't handle it well.[/quote]

or i have a plane to fly/service the next morning :)[/quote]
