Reading the post about the biggest denies boarding compensation, I starting thinking about making a serious go at becoming a "professional bumpee"
.
Has anyone ever tried this sort of thing?

I'm not saying I'm going to quit my job and do this for a living, perhaps just spending a month during the summer making reservations on very popular routes on various airlines and just hanging out at the gate. Might be a fun way to really stock up on vouchers, coupons, certs, free hotels, miles, upgrades...whatever!

I know I can come up with some pretty wild ideas, but has anyone else ever thought about this?
