Don't they do this when business is overbooked? (just as they do with economy)
So what you are saying is that when there is an overbooked situation in business, the gate agents start to automatically downgrade pax to Y? I did not know that.
USA DOT regulations require airlines to ask for volunteers in order to avoid IDB situations but they are not required to do this for involuntary downgrades.
