As we have discussed, and witnessed, not only are there high loads, but CO load management is pretty darned good. They are very skilled at balancing oversolds against no shows, mis-connects etc. There have been multiple occassions upon which I have counted my VDB voucher chickens before hatching. Then, after watching the last stand by pax board the aircraft, being given a CO Curreny Coupon along with, "Thank you, but we will not be needing your seat tonight.".

It is somewhat interesting that the voucher amount [at least over past few day] has been $300.00. This is up from the $250.00 which we saw during spring and summer.
