Will I get an incentive if I volunteer to be bumped
Hi all,
I am flying out of BOS on Monday evening to BUF. Fortunately for me, out of the 4 scheduled flights to BUF, my flight is the only one not cancelled. Does anyone know if I would receive any incentives from B6 if we (my son, my wife, and I) volunteer to be bumped to another flight or volunteer to have our tickets cancelled, freeing up 3 seats? I wouldn't mind driving to my destination if the incentives are worth it.
BTW, I just discovered this website and I'm learning a lot already. You guys are great!!

Welcome to FlyerTalk!!
Typically JetBlue doesn't overbook flights which is what causes other programs to "bump" passengers and give them vouchers or such. I would be quite surprised if they offered you compensation for giving up the confirmed seats to standby passengers.

I forgot to include; the cancellations were because of Hurricane Irene. Does that make any difference?
