Good luck.
A little sorry to blast YOU, but why the threadcrapping? The OP clearly stated that he wanted to know people's experiences. Very little (if anything) on FT is "scientific", as evidenced by the amount of "YMMV" posts on the site. What makes FT great is the fact that the "45 people's opinions" (nice grammar, BTW) come from 45 experienced road warriors, who are happy to share their knowledge and tips to help their fellow travelers.
The OP wanted to know people's experiences with getting bumped, and was looking for advice/opinions. He didn't say that he was from Gallup conducting a poll, or attempting a randomized, double-blinded study on bump frequencies.
jeez, and we wonder why people call us crabby and elitist...
