Don't airlines on purpose overbook flights just for the reason that passengers do not always show up for their flights?
I remember reading an article that if airlines would not overbook a flight, they would have to compensate this by raising the ticket prices by X%.

Q: As some people here seen to be worried that missing the flight might send the airline chasing after you, have there actually been any cases where this has happened?
