#1 on the volunteer list but then offered the RDU-ATL flight currently boarding at the next gate. I asked if there would be compensation for taking it and she said no, so I said I would just hang out and take the bump. She then offered me the voucher to get on the earlier flight, so I did. My third $600 voucher this year and first ever for taking an earlier flight.

Maybe. I only got $500, but the earlier flight was a nonstop rather than a connection to a redeye, on a mileage run, and I got ORC.
