Flights listed on bumptracker.com are more likely to attract people who are less likely to no-show than the average airline passenger, so an airline would be wise to mine the data and cut back overbooking on those flights.</font>
But you see my point is that the airlines would have this information whether or not it was listed on bumptracker...

In which case, adding fake bumps to the bumptracker system wouldn't benefit us anyways because airlines would just cut back the flights they see as overbooked on their computers.
