Although the reality is much more complex than this, let's take a simplistic hypothetical. There are 86 CW seats on the aircraft. Assume that the 6 empty F seats you see will remain empty until departure. That gives you 92 physical seats you can fill with CW passengers. Assume a 10% no-show rate on the day. You can then hold 102 reservations for CW. But you're still prepared to take 9 more now - so maybe you only have 93 CW reservations now. But that's still got CW overbooked by 7 at the present time.If this is a sensible way of running the business, why not?
