Not sure she volunteered; she just wisely didn't physically resist like her husband. Just as well for the airline or it would have looked worse. Just wonder how they were picked ? Not sure I believe the airline that it was random. They seems to have been telling a lot of porkies.
To partly get themselves out of this they could make a declaration never to overbook flights again. This would set the cat amongst the pigeons in the airline industry, others would have to follow suit. Never understood overbooking anyway if you've paid in advance, surely they don't lose anything if you don't turn up. Its obscene profiteering. Happened to us once with a hotel in Spain where we'd booked and paid for months in advance; Mrs K kicked up a public fuss, they very wisely found a room suddenly...
