Tough to throw her under the bus for flying Rogue .... if you have to get to Miami, that's basically your only option on AC.

Now, why she didn't pay for a seat assignment, or better yet fly to Miami a day early, those are tougher questions.

Once again though, this is a case in which a VDB auction would surely have paid off. Sounds like a VDB offer could have gone up to the multi-thousands, and she would still have wanted to keep the flight ... but there's no way that everyone on the flight was so time constrained; someone would have happily stepped off for $n,000.

IMHO, Delta saved themselves with their announcement of (almost) unlimited VDB amounts ... I can't understand why AC don't read the tea leaves, announce a similar policy, and get out ahead of this.
