CLT-LAX VDM compensation
Anyone have any datapoints on recent VDB compensation CLT-LAX, or comparable cross country flights?
I'm on the 10am CLT-LAX flight this Monday, 2/18, the day after the NBA All-Star Game, and the only seats left to buy on the 6 CLT-LAX nonstops are 3 first class seats on the last flight out.
Hoping to get bumped at least once, plans totally flexible.
And is there some sort of algorithm they use? The computer says initial offer of $x, wait for 15 minutes, then increase offer to $x if still need more volunteers? I'm imagining there will be a lot of business types that don't have much flexibility and that there won't be a lot of no shows.
