What makes you so sure you're the only one coming up with that 'cunning' plan? Who says they'll pick you anyway, probably someone else and you'd miss your one in 20 thousand chance. Gee, what a great plan

>paying up to $10,000
>up to
What did they mean by this?

It's not $10k; it's up to $10k.

>invest $100 booking a flight last minute possible
>fight with 10 other fucks just like you who want the payout
>10 people all leave the plane before takeoff because they don't actually want to go to the destination
gg no refunds

One in 20,000? How big do you think these places are?

$400 and a free bear hug

"According to EU documents, the statistical chance of all passengers with a valid ticket checking in on time is less than 1 in 10,000 at best."

That's why you get your Sup Forumsros to be overbooked flight shills to collectively demand not to settle for less than $10,000.

Then afterwards split the cash. It's an ez return on investment of a flight ticket. If you did this once a week, you could do this for a living, even if you split the cash 4-6 ways.

They probably will do it as a sort of auction - slowly rising price until people start accepting

Exactly.

Which is what they should have done in the first place.

Someone will volunteer long before they reach $10k.

how

most people aren't farming this and actually have places to be.

How many regular people have time to be inconvenienced like that? millenials always arrive the day of a convention whenever they fly out.

how what?

You have a problem in your model:
The offer of $10,000 for giving up a seat will be accepted by many. And the 'winner' will be random selection.
So, just thought I would point that out to you newfag.

Most planes can seat hundreds.
You only need a couple volunteers.

Most people have to work more than a week to earn $1k.
So a couple hours or perhaps one day delay for $1k will sound very attractive to most people, let alone thousands of dollars.

>multiple people volunteer for the $10,000 check
>you're not picked
>stuck on a $100 flight to some place you don't give a shit about.

>posting a link to an image....on an image board.

Get ready for those arrows bud.

>he thinks a flight is 100$
lmaoing all of your lives

>one off

>not using 4chanX

You think they'll give that to you in cash? No, they'll give you (((vouchers))) to use on your next flight.
