I know I can count on FT folks to come up with a "business plan" around a problem.

Imagine on a propjet or a RJ flight. Everyone checkins the maximum allowed. The flight is sure to get overweight with the current load factors. This would result in a certain bump opportunity.

Edited: to add bump possibilities.
