"the problem with a lot of this is that people and airlines assume that giving people money can *always* make it better. it doesn't."

All of my experiences have been that they've asked the whole flight for volunteers to fly later in exchange for goodies. Someone always takes the
|
deal if it is sweet enough. However, I've been standing there fuming that I had to be somewhere at a specific time so I couldn't take the deal.

They always try VDB first and are usually, but not always, successful. -- nm
