date checked. seats available (westbound then eastbound)
9/24/12 18, 39
10/1/12 10, 33
10/3/12 7, 24

i hope this sells out....

IF they do need volunteers, what's a good rate to blurp out if they ask for what will it cost them to pay me to stay for a later flight? the total cost of my airfare is $336.60, and using averages, it's approx $168.30ow with taxes.

If I say, pay me $200 for giving up my seat, is that fair/market value? alternatively, will i get the minimum, which is (and i hope) is $400?

**keeping my fingers and toes crossed**
This flight will not overbook, period. JetBlue doesn't oversell and if it did happen by accident this isn't a likely route. The website you're using isn't giving you an idea of how many seats are open.
