Is the Marc Apter they interview a FT'er does anyone know? also:

Apter said he was told by a gate agent that as many as 200 people a day were being bumped since late May. Hopkins declined to comment, saying the number of bumped passengers is "proprietary" information

There are 2 types of denied boardings, VDB which is voluntary and IDB which is involuntary. Hopkins is partially correct, VDB's do not have to be reported but IDB's must be reported and are published for everyone to see by the DOT.
