They would only owe that in an involuntary situation. You don't get the comp if you take a voluntary offer. In the vast majority of cases, they don't end up needing volunteers. Airlines have much data on no shows. Leisure routes like OP is on typically have fewer no shows and airlines know this and will typically not overbook such flights.
