Southwest ending overbooked flights

[wheelsup]

You need to dig deeper into this and pull up the priority list to see what is going on. It's there if you look for it.

You aren't referring to the revenue standbys are you? That is not how they get there. They are also already included in total pax count.

Here is a good example...

Tomorrow CLT-MIA, first two flights are full in coach. First has one seat open.

You cannot buy a ticket tomorrow in coach. They won't sell it.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I would point out that in 2016, per the table below (with source article linked), JetBlue had the 4th highest occurrence of involuntary denied boarding's in the industry -- and they have a "no overselling" policy. This is purely a marketing play that will not fix the fundamental issue - a nice marketing grab though.
