I don't know, it just seems weird that they may just auto cancel or ban me or maybe it is against some weird air-travel regulation and my PSA-Precheck gets banned or something. haha
In this day and age of 90% or so load factors airlines routinely overbook flights. Their software is such that they decreasingly need volunteers in the end. I doubt they'd care you bought 5 tickets and only traveled on one as long as you didn't try to exchange or try to get a refund. Now if you did it week after week maybe the airline would notice. Also, I doubt your PreCheck would be taken away.
