NW used to overbook everything BIG TIME before the "belt-tightening" of the last couple years. They used to pass out DBC's like candy. But now they are authorized to go only a few seats over, therefore there are VERY few DBC's anymore in comparison to the "old days".
As an example, NW used to overbook flights from SNA by 10 or 12 people. They now only overbook SNA flights by 3 or 4 people. (Less during holidays!!)
