This príck on the United airlines flight.

He was running up and down the plane shouting "I've got to get home! I've got to get home!" and claiming to be a doctor in a funny little sing-song voice. It was very funny.

Mind you, beating up a customer because you want to bump them for your own staff members is not a great look, PR-wise.

Quite, couldn't they have just said that if anyone was prepared to take the next flight, they'd bump them to 1st and put them up if required? No skin off their noses, unlike the poor Doctor

i believe they offered $800 for anyone to volunteer, but nobody did

When I check in and gives me that option sometimes to change flight and get paid I always say yes.

I know that's different from actually being on the plane.

I think they'd offered $1000, but no-one was taking it.

It was quite weird on my first domestic flights over there. You see those standby screens at the gates. Looks like bingo.

Even the staff were laid back. 'This flight is going to Vegas, we may go to LA afterwards we may not.'
