Sounds more like a glitch, if true.

The article itself is very poorly written

+1 more like a blog post, not worthy of being called an article

I do remember when Dr. Dau happened some airline pledged to offer voluntary bumps “up to $10k”, but I don’t recall it being Delta and I don’t think this is that. Lucky passengers, I’d likely take the $10k in a heartbeat (obviously depending on the circumstances).

No-one agreed when they offered 9K?

Don't they bid up slowly?

We have confirmed the $10,000 with Delta corp reps. Looks like $80,000 total paid out!  :)

Nice, but did they confirm it was intentional?

Other airlines have offered it if necessary in the past.
