United should have kept increasing the compensation for volunteering to give up your seat until they had a sufficient number of volunteers instead of randomly choosing passengers to displace. At some point, the compensation will get high enough that they will get a sufficient number of volunteers. I have seen it go to $1500. In the "good old days" before airlines became better at over booking, I would offer my seat, just in case it was needed, as soon as I got to the gate. I received quite a few free travel vouchers over the years for very little disruption of my travel plans.
