BINGO!!
Sad to say but in an oversold situation and with no volunteers, the lowest fare ticket holders get pulled.
Was she offered any type of compensation??
Missing the last flight of the evening, as a courtesy, she should have at least been offered meal or even room vouchers from the airline's CSA.
Are you sure it wasn't a "Buddy Pass" that she was flying on?
