over time, I have learned that flights that have more pax connecting into them are less often oversold because of missed connections. My best VDBs, as a result, do not occur at hubs typically. SFO-ATL may not be too bad since many will likely originate there for DL flights...... though I dont have experience flying DL out of SFO since I'm a United guy 90% of the time.
