Double booking was a heck of a lot more common back in the USAir days. it's been quite a long time since I was first told double booking wasnt allowed any more.

When I was first told double booking wasnt allowed any more, I was executive platinum. then again i was getting triple booked during massive weather related disruptions at the time.
