Many times, they might rebook you in F, but that is not policy and if not worth a complaint to Delta, as if they investigate they might remove the class bonuses.
I disagree. I was flying with my UIG (Used Italian Girlfriend) JFK-TLV a few years ago and we had Economy seats. She, incidentally, is not a SkyMiles member and I was only an FO at the time.
The flight was heavily overbooked and they were calling for volunteers to fly the following night. First they offered $300 in Delta dollars and then $400. I offered to pass on the Delta dollars if they would book my girlfriend and myself in Biz Elite for that flight. I was told that they could not do that yet but to hold on as they would probably raise the offer to include it.
Eventually, they were offering $600 but I still held out and, finally, they got to $600 and Biz Elite and I jumped at it (as did several other people).
