I was once on a UA flight from SFO to SAN. The gate agent told me there were 133 seats on the aircraft and they had 192 bookings. My wife and I were #1 and 2 on the volunteer list to get bumped and we both ended up on the flight, which actually had 2 or 3 empty seats.

On the other hand we were on a UA flight from SFO to Maui that was oversold by 25 and they ended up bumping 14.
