Most have heard or seen the video of a man dragged off a United Airlines flight. But I just found out about a man and his family of 5 and a Delta experience. They were overbooked and offered him $1000 a seat. He said he wanted $1500. Delta countered with $1350. He asked for $2000. Delta gave that, $10,000 total. Next day overbooked again. Price went up and he got $20,000 for the 5 seats. Day 3 overbooked yet again, this time he got $30,000. After which the man said to hell with rebooking, bought a new SUV and drove from Nashville to Ft Lauderdale. I can only wish, someday!
