Most people think of an IDB as a David Dao dragged of the plane situation. In this case it was far less dramatic. My MSY to LAS plane was delayed my LAS to SMF plane was delayed but I could have made the connection. Instead WN preemptively bumped me from my LAS-SMF to a later flight that left the next morning. So it is a straight-forward IDB and realistically they would not have coughed up $1350 per ticket in cash unless it was.
Will I fly WN again? Only on flights which don't matter if I'm a day or two late and are very very cheap, i.e. definitely not flying to my daughters wedding next quarter on WN! They do not handle IRROPs well at all and their claim I initiated the flight change is quite insulting.
