@BoingBoing This a) not new and b) could reduce crowding in coach as those with some $ upgrade & leave seats free.

@GlennF@BoingBoing No, those seats are filled by overbooking flights or standby pax. They never leave an empty seat. Flown UA recently? -
@dunnry If they’re bidding for upgrades, they have empty seats. -
@GlennF No they don't. They have empty premium seats and a waiting list of folks in economy. I fly 120K/yr and this happens all the time -
@GlennF Today, those 1st class seats goto elite fliers who booked economy. Economy is still 100% filled. No change if auctions occur. -
@dunnry there’s an obligation to seat people if overbooked or compensate -
@GlennF True - they are pretty good at booking a plane full however. Out of 70+ flights last year, there were 0 empty 1st class seats... -
@dunnry Interesting that Delta is moving to nearly entirely paid upgrades
