Not in jest:
Look, every nonrev should be flexible and booking a commitment that might be missed is stupid. That family of SIX should have had contingency plan to split. Poor planning. There is no guarantee that there would be 6 open seats for all of the family. People, your flights are FREE! If you want a sure thing, buy tkts like rev pax--help your own company and have peace of mind. The parents are the ones who have to tell the little girl THEY screwed up. It's rather unlikely she won't murder them in their sleep over this memory. The noble one who gives up a seat had a bfast res, too. These people get on or they don't--simple as that.
Yes, I've given up my seat but I didn't have any commitments so I just went home nearby. It costs me $4 for parking and some time. I did it for crew members to get to their base. I wouldn't do it overseas no matter the sob story.

As usually 25% of non-revs go off the survey board.
In 2008 it was question #1


1---You've been bumped off the last flight of the day by a late arriving co-worker. You suspect some devious tactics were employed. (and no I don't know what devious tactics were used - I'm describing a hypothetical situation) Weeks later as luck would have it, he/she walks right pass you, you turn to him/her and....

A---Shake your head at how unfair life can be, but later go to the library and get a book on curses, just in case there's a next time.
B---Tell him you want to learn from the master and would love to learn how to manipulate the system.
C---Execute a quick blow to the nose, followed by a foot stomp to the toes...hey you always wanted to do that, besides this is a hypothetical situation.
D---Demand an explanation for his actions, then excute a quick blow to the nose, followed by a foot stomp to the toes --don't you just love hypothetical situations?

One member answered the question with this convoluted plan involving a boat and killer ducks (yeah killer ducks were big then). How he planned to get the boat and ducks into the hangar was never fully explained.
