Here's the situation: Coworker is flying back to town on United. Supposed to be Sunday but they've moved her to Monday. - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:06 17
- Probably need a few more details. What happened, why was coworker bumped? -- nm - ty97 May 9, 08:17 12
  - Flight was oversold. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:18 11
    - That just makes zero sense. Normally they ask for volunteers at the gate, or see if people no-show, before bumping people. - ty97 May 9, 08:24 10
      - Flight was undersold. She was the only passenger. -- nm - LFG May 9, 08:32
      - Right? That seems weird. I suspect they probably changed aircraft. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:25 7
        
        What airline are we talking about and what city are they flying into? - ty97 May 9, 08:27 6
        
        United. She mentioned a connecting flight, so I don't think she's flying straight to Portland. I'll get that info. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:28 5
        
        Well United wouldn't have a non-stop from Madison to Portland anyway -- nm - ty97 May 9, 08:29 4
        
        Madison to Chicago. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:40 3
        
        rent a car to Chi? -- nm - LFG May 9, 08:45 1
        
        Not the point. You get bumped, you get paid, yes? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:51
        
        Connecting flight was rescheduled to leave earlier, making connection impossible? -- nm - Meg May 9, 08:44
      - Often they can get people to take an offer as a VDB that is cheaper than what is owed for IDB. - ty97 May 9, 08:25
- was she bumped from the flight that is still happening or was the flight canceled and rescheduled for Monday? - decline May 9, 08:16
- Flying back from where? -- nm - ty97 May 9, 08:15 2
  - Madison, WI -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:19
  - (I ask, because if it's Europe or UK then EU261/UK261 would apply as well) -- nm - ty97 May 9, 08:16
supposably, now -- nm - hollywood big shot May 9, 08:04
