Like someone said earlier, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I can tell you 800 bucks ain't gonna be worth my time to miss work. Obviously it wasn't worth it for the upteen people on the plane either because there was zeros volunteers. I would not have stepped off for 800. 1600 maybe so. Don't you think all of this could have been avoided? Offer better incentives, drive the crew the few hours to their destination, put em on a private flight, buy em tickets on another carrier. All of those choices to solve their staffing issue and they choose to screw over 4 paying customers and assaulting 1 of em in the process. But hey, we just had to "reaccomdate" a few passengers that bought a seat on our plane. What's the big deal?

I'm not sure buying a seat on a plane to get home for work is playing a stupid game but what do I know.
