Hmm, in all my years of flying I have never once thought of my fellow passengers as a 'team'.
And certainly not on the few times I've been in VDB situations.
On a dif note - I have some relatives & neighbors who rarely travel but have been in VDB situations. They've jumped at them, and the offers are rarely anything we would go for, so I think your scheme is doomed.
Cheers.
