“I think we’ve all agreed that if it ever happened again, we’d be the first ones off the flight,” Jason Aten said.

How much is your airplane seat worth? Not $10,000 for at least one Delta passenger who passed up the offer on a recent flight.

"We had boarded the flight and the flight attendant came over the PA and announced that they were looking for volunteers who were willing to give up their seats for $10,000," Aten told FOX Television Stations. "At first, everyone thought it must be some kind of mistake. Then, she made the announcement again, and added ‘if you have ApplePay, you’ll even have the money right now’." Aten said some passengers thought she meant frequent flyer miles at first instead of cash.

"I think we’ve all agreed that if it ever happened again, we’d be the first ones off the flight," Aten said. Ironically, the flight attendant announced the airline was looking for eight volunteers. However, Aten said by that time, at least four people took the offer. He added some other eager passengers ended up declining the offer because Delta wouldn’t be able to accommodate them for several days.
