I'm thinking about it, and I'm thinking that I WOULD like to be the person they bump if I am VOLUNTEERING for it and receiving compensation that I agree to... otherwise I'll just take my flight if the bump doesn't work for me and let someone else volunteer... If a person gets a 200 dollar voucher but B6 sells someone else that seat for $400 because it's last minute, that is a $200 profit for B6.
