Why you got bumped
US Airways folks were surprisingly candid in a New York Times article that goes behind the scenes to try to explain why airlines over-sell flights. It’s actually pretty interesting stuff. It won’t make you feel any better if you’re bumped off an oversold flight, but at least you’ll understand why the airline did it. Read this soon. The Times only leaves stuff up for free for a couple of weeks. The story is here.

Depending on my attitude at the time, there’s either nothing funnier or sadder than seeing someone get told they’re bumped for an over sell.
It can be both at the same time too.

If I am on my way home…bump me all you want! I could still be on St. John if USAIR would just keep bumping me over and over and over again
