MSP-LAX 10:30pm flight

overbooked by 3. Gate agents forgot to ask for volunteers. Went to scan pass and asked for volunteers. Asked for 1k. Declined by agent. He countered with $500. Only needed 2 volunteers but gate agent found them quick.

Took my seat in F since offer wasn't high enough.

Almost every flight at MSP tonight was asking for volunteers. Shorter flights were being bumped for $500 and people were biting.

2 misconnects so volunteers got out back on flight. Person next to me got free upgrade into F (she volunteered), even though there was 1 person on upgrade list.
