I agree this is not the typical IDB where the GA calls for volunteers and keeps on increasing the compensation until no one takes the bait and they select someone to IDB. But I suspect they got pinged by the DOT for doing this before (the supervisor I talked to on the phone was clearly very cautious). It seems like a perfect backdoor way for an airline to side-step IDBs: bump someone mid flight under the auspicious that they are trying to rebook you. If one could do that then there would never be an IDB would there?
Anyway, they keep on throwing cash at me. I just got another $200 per ticket "LUV Voucher" what-ever that is. I said I didn't want it.
