The 1300 JAX-IAD is showing Y0, while the 1400 is Y1. Maybe you're flying at 1300? If you do get bumped, it doesn't look like there are any UA options to get you out past that time (nothing for sale), so they might have to put you on someone else.

I took a bump from a SFO-IAD Friday night red-eye flight recently. Got $600 VDB and a hotel night, and was accomodated on an early Saturday morning United flight. (Still managed to finish my mileage run on Saturday, although it made for a pretty long day.) It helped significantly, I think, that the immediately previous SFO-IAD United flight on that Friday was mid-afternoon, so travelers who didn't want to head to the airport right after lunch had to take this particular red-eye.

Things didn't quite work out like I expected...
Was scheduled on the 2:00 flight to IAD... Problem was, there was no crew! So the flight got delayed, and delayed, and delayed...
Spent a ton of time trying to figure out how to get back to SJC... Ended up on a flight to ORD tonight.... Got put up in the Hilton at O'Hare, and will finally get to fly home tomorrow morning....
I hope it doesn't take this much time every time I do this flight!

KevinB-
Wait until it starts snowing I have 3 more of these starting Nov 29, and the weather might be more of a challenge. I'm prepared to just turn around midway and not even go there if it looks like I won't be able to get back. I haven't decided if I want to book any in Jan-Feb just because of the weather issue (transiting IAD or ORD) and the problems it creates.
Glad they took care of the hotel room for you. Hopefully you didn't need to be anywhere Monday morning
Tom in Sydney, Australia tonight
