Does Alaska Overbook Flights?
Include me in the number of people distracted today with the events of UA3411, resulting in the passenger being removed from the flight.
I've done a lot of reading, and understand from many places that this flight wasn't really oversold, but just not enough seats to accommodate 4 crew.
DL and AA seemed to have defended the practice of overbooking. I've encountered only a few situations in flying with AS, but do they regularly engage in this type of behavior to generate revenue?
Does the repositioning of crews take precedence over paying passengers?
Regardless of the answer, I would hope AS is watching the response to UA's behavior, right or wrong.
Would hope our hometown airline would never find itself in this type of situation.
