Read the threads and didn't seen anything on this. Anyone been bumped in advance (day or two in advance) of their trip? My return from FPO (actually it's the PBI-CLE flight) in two weeks is booked solid and if I knew I was bumped and got compensation IN ADVANCE, I would just chill at the resort for a few more hours instead of getting to the airport and sitting. Anyone ever luck out there get bumped a day or two ahead of your flight?

Although, I am no expert, I don't think this is possible. The whole concept of oversales is the no-show factor, and that is not known until departure time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if when we check-in online we could just put ourselves on the list, print out the DBC, and enjoy life, but I suppose if we want free $$, we'll have to work a little for it.

This DC-based Bump-a-holic sees Y0 a LOT on DCA flights... inbound and outbound... IAH, EWR, CLE, even MEM, DTW, and MSP.

But, -never- have I been bumped from DCA.

I'll second this. I've seen Y0 on EWR-DCA at least 20-30 times, and only been bumped one of them. They have this down to a pretty good science.
