Money moves mountains. There should be an auction for a cash refund to disembark.

The airlines just don't want to pay fair market value to get someone off the plane and they get to use violence to get their way.

From that link, passengers voluntarily taking the airline offers vastly exceeds those involuntarily denied (by a factor of almost 14:1 overall and many of the majors having exactly zero IDBs in that year).

That means the airline most frequently reaches an acceptable agreement to someone. You might wish that they used some other process, but the process they are using usually gets to an agreement as it is.
