Sounds very good for my chances then next week...my GSO-ATL flight is at Y0 (the only thing left is F7, but A-T is zeroed out) and delta.com is not selling coach seats on that flight. Looks like I should nail the bump.

One question about this though: what exactly will happen if I nail the bump. I'm getting to the airport at 245 pm for a 645 pm flight (hey, I got a friend to give me the ride instead of paying for a cab, which saves me money, and I've got the US Airways Club to hang out in at GSO which is a nice little club). I plan on going straight to the gate and getting on the bump list (the earlier the better) - would they be willing to consider putting me on an earlier flight out (without paying the $25 same day confirmed fee), or would they put me on a later flight (currently, the only 2 available GSO-MHT itineraries that work after mine are both showing Medallion only seating and have a B fare as the lowest), or would they have me overnight somewhere and come back in the morning...

I would prefer option A (since the later flights are all on CRJs and if I'm taking a bump, I at least want to have the chance to upgrade instead of subject myself to ASA and Comair), but if I get some Delta Dollars for mileage runs, then who knows...

Sorry for rambling on...this is what I get for being up at 1:15 am and have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.
