VDB strategy when seated in FC

Still, that's a lot. Looks like an easy VDB day. Not much chance of IDB for her, since F is not overbooked.
AACHARYA, thanks for your speedy reply. What is the best strategy for someone sitting in FC to participate in a VDB ? Does $500 + FC on replacement flight sound reasonable ? If FC isn't available on next flights, how do you value the lost upgrade ? Your reply and insight are appreciated. PS, the standby list is now 15 on flight 308
