Which leads him (and myself) to believe this was, in fact, an IDB and not a VDB, because someone would have to be a total idiot to volunteer to lose $2600+/-. Which is a good point to make to DL when the OP calls and they say "well, it shows you volunteered to be bumped, we owe you nothing."
The $400 the OP received is the required compensation for IDB, and can be provided in vouchers. However, it appears DL is exchanging the vouchers for a check. ^
