Wow. Is this from a longer thread somewhere else? I'd be interested in hearing more about what led to your "most unfortunate situation." Keep 'em coming!

My lap child and 3 kids under 9 might have something to do with it not happening yet but absolutely full flights seem to be a more likely culprit.
I absolutely LOVE the ground staff here at FRA. Today, they were waiting on us when we arrived and offered us the bump option without even making us go through immigration and security. We were in our hotel room before the flight actually even left. Great people who always go out of their way to aid me and my family.
The baggage that SU lost on Monday in Moscow is already in Atlanta waiting to be delivered to our home. We're the dream bump candidate Delta says as we number 5 tickets total, have no checked bags, and are generally nice and non-demanding about the whole process.
Anyone know what the record bump run is in a case like this? $20k is a very real possibility...
