What are you on about? You are clueless on how every single airline operates. Not getting the extra revenue they can generate is considered a LOSS. You do know that the overbooking is usually done at -5 at the expected showing, right? And most of the flights fly with empty seats after overbooking. This was a standard off-loading which was overblown due to the passenger's lack of co-operation. It wasn't the first one and it won't be the last, except the percentage of this happening is far below what would alarm any change in this reservation policy, obviously. You clearly seem to have come across the concept of overbooking for the first time going by your posts but any airline or a service industry professional will tell you that it's as standard a procedure as it can be, and one of them is doing that right now.
