Most airlines would have a policy in place for events such as that or even an overweight aircraft would be another example when pax need to be offloaded. Worst case scenario you wouldnt offload load your gold silver or platinum freq flyer but may be the last ones to have checked in. They will have a process to follow. I would have put my hand up as the airline would have been very appreciative and would have looked after you and as you said a free flight! sold, oh an Andrew i would have taken the cash too...
