can someone explain why its ok to overbook flights in the first place? like its hundreds of dollars and theres literally assigned seats wtf

it seems like theres maybe a middle ground between "deliberately underfilled" and "every flight ive been on has to bump five people"

ummm intuition boring + too long for twitter but bumping a handful of people regularly might be optimal, especially with the reverse auction
