Anyone trying to get bumped by strikes?


Northwest pilots will be able to strike on May 10, with Delta on June 30, and others possibly this summer. Assuming one or more airlines DO have problems, what's the best way to take advantage of it?

Although this is obviously going to be a pain for business travel, the bonuses folks got from United's year of hell makes me think that possibly booking either milage runs or other inessential travel would be a good idea, in the hopes that you can get bumped and compensated.

Have folks tried this before with strikes? If I'm planning a nonessential trip, would booking it on May 10/11 with NW be a good chance of getting miles/certificates/etc or is this loony?
