I would have to have a family member dying to turn that down. There is nothing else that would prevent me from turning down the offer. That is insane. A flight from Michigan to Minnesota. You could rent a luxury car and do the drive in the 10 hours.

Passengers on a Delta flight from Michigan to Minnesota say that the airline offered them $10,000 cash to give up their seats on an oversold domestic flight.

In the end, the hour-long flight departed just 20 minutes later than scheduled from Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, according to Cirium’s flight tracker.

Jason Aten, a tech columnist at Inc. magazine, boarded the plane with his family and was waiting for it to leave the gate when a flight attendant came over the intercom, he wrote earlier this week. The crew was looking for eight volunteers to give up their seats on the apparently oversold flight, offering them $10,000 cash each.

“If you have Apple Pay, you’ll even have the money right now,” the flight attendant said, Aten wrote.
