A little late to the game... I was a volunteer for DL2445 from Dallas Love to Atlanta. It was the same day as an early afternoon Cowboys vs. Falcons (Sep 27), so the flight was WAY overbooked. Even though I "bid" $400 on the bump, I received $600! The three involuntary bumps each received $1,000. I got a night at the Crowne Plaza and a meal voucher as well (plus the cab vouchers... the cab driver seemed overjoyed). I was booked on a flight the next day back to CLE connecting through DTW. The only negative experience was the GA at DFW was making fun of Cleveland... I love my hometown! But it was all in good fun.
