After having read several posts on FT on how shockingly common/usual it is to have an involuntary downgrade of paid J to Y in QR long-haul with DOH connections (usually because a Qatari sheikh decides last minute to fly J with his large family out of DOH, since his uncle owns the airline nobody can say no, so the paid J pax. are bumped down :evil with no or negligible (a few hundred euros) compensation, I wanted to hear people's experiences, if any, with QF involuntary downgrades. [I assume the reasons in QF would be more related to changes to operating flight rather than local VIPs ]
I've seen previous discussions about involuntary seat changes on Qantas, but they mostly referred to change of seat within the same class, rather than a downgrade to a different class.
Have you ever been bumped down from PE to Y, or even worse, from J to Y?
What is QF's standard policy to handle this? What compensation do you receive as a result?
