As fate would have it, UA would not let me take a flight the next day without a $75 SDC fee so I did not change it. Next thing you know I ended up being called at the gate for a $500 bump voucher with a next day flight cause of an oversold condition.

These airlines are quite the circus
But had you not shown up for your flight then it wasn't oversold and could have gone out simply full. It's a dynamic environment for sure.
