That's what I figured, are the any other odd coincidences that happen with being bumped.

Like... I was thinking. The likeliness of getting bumped is much higher on the weekend because there's more travel on the weekend but at the same time if a flight is oversold on a weekday it seems like more of those would be non-refundable fares (less business flights) and would probably be more likely to be bumped. This is somewhat fuzzy logic, but I have no experience. Anyone know a site or thread that discusses this thouroughly?
