...My all-time Las Vegas record is four bumps (one on the outbound to LV, three on the return)...[This message has been edited by scruffy (edited Feb 27, 2004).]</font>
One late night flight from ATL-VPS--where they were asking for volunteers-- I overheard a young couple coming to an agreement that they'd taken 5 bumps and as that had paid for their Destin vacation, they'd go ahead and depart on that flight rather than take yet another bump!

This was during the period when ASA was offering $200 in actual money for taking a bump, rather than vouchers or free flights. Talk about the good ole days!
