The one time we swapped to a 752, there were a LOT of angry elites who sat in back (not to mention the ~50 or so people who got bumped outright).
Where do you come up with 50 people bumped off completely? The capacity difference between the 763 3 class and the 752 is only 11 seats (193 v 182). Even accounting for oversales I think there is some exaggeration here.
