    What a dumbass- he should have just taken denied boarding compensation. Another case for checking in early online and picking your seat. I'm not aware of any cases where 2 people have been assigned the same seat in the internet age. I have heard several calls for voluntary bumping with incentives.

    What is really disturbing is the 40 minute time frame that guy just stood there naked. Could you picture anyone getting away with doing what this guy did for 40 minutes in a hotel lobby or shopping mall ?

    Yup. Just the other day, I was on two different US Air domestic flights and they were both overbooked. In each instance, they offered $475 travel vouchers and a seat on the next available flight for anyone willing to be bumped. They didn't have any problems finding takers for that deal.

    The problem with international travel, however, is that hotel reservations are often prepaid and less flexible. I'm speculating, but my guess is that they wanted to bump him to the next day, which was cutting a day off his trip and losing him a a non-refundable night at the hotel. Many of the other travelers were probably in the same boat, which is why there weren't enough takers for whatever voluntary deal the airline offered.

    Well the article said he was off his meds. Only a mentally unstable or highly intoxicated person would get buck naked in public and not give a fuck if kids are looking. I'm guessing he's schizophrenic.

    But speaking of getting naked in an airport. Imagine how much money could be made if there was a strip club in the airport.

    ^ When my sister travled with me a bit we'd look at every guy and be" he's good for a few hundred" "Him 20". It was funny. I'd see sooo many businessmen I know i'd get a fortune off of and want to discretely hand them a card for whatever club and see if they'd come. Lol.
