In order for an airline to want to do this the cost savings from lowered DBs (which I don't think would be that great) would have to exceed the compensation paid to passengers who "pre announce" their no show. The ability to resell the seat is already baked into the overbooking rate so I don't think it should enter into the equation.

I really don't think the economics work.
