My last 2 flights out of LIH have had to kick people off the plane to allow it to fly. The last one was done after everyone had boarded and we were ready to go. Offer started at $1000 and they needed 5 people. I think it got up to $1200 for the last 2 people. That's a lot of money to throw away because you don't have the right plane (or planning, really) to operate the route. Almost took the voucher but First was sold out for the next two days and I needed to be home the next day. This brings up the other issue - there are not enough premium seats on these flights any more.
