I’m getting ready to board a regional jet, maybe 60-70 passenger capacity. They are oversold and asking for 6 volunteers because they’re over sold.
How do the airlines get away with this practice? It’s not that hard to figure out if a flight is at capacity or not. Yeah, I get that they play the odds of missed connections and cancelled flights, but a close to 10% overage is crazy.
On a side note....I really really miss my Elite status upgrades. This flying with the herd stuff sucks monkey sacks.
On the plus side, no free upgrades means I’m not having to travel so much anymore! Decent trade off I guess.
