I smell a conspiracy theory here - does anyone think it is possible that the AA agents KNEW the DFW flight was overbooked and deliberately chose to check-in everyone for the Chicago flight FIRST in order to insure that enough people missed to DFW flight without AA having to compensate anyone for the overbooking?

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but if you'd been there with me, I think you'd agree with my conclusion that they couldn't
possibly have been that smart.
Then again, I've been surprised in the past how devious counter and gate agents can be when put up to it (of course, I'm thinking here of the United Express / ACA team)

So who knows ...
