FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I'm still getting used to scouting out possible bump situations...

I'm on CO 1527 tomorrow, BWI-IAH (and then 423 on to MSY). Flight status on CO.com shows "F: available; Y: full", but the seatmap shows about 18 Y seats unclaimed (most are exit rows or special assistance seats). Seatcounter shows everything zeroed out except 5 F/Z/A/D and 4 Y/B.

...Does this translate into "oversold"? Or "close"? Or just "is not possible"?

There's availability on the next (and last) BWI-IAH flight, plus time for a connection to make the last IAH-BTR of the night (which is where I'm eventually going anyway).

It would be awesome to score some bump money AND save my friends the 2 hours of driving to/from MSY to come get me...

1527=no bump
423=F0 Y9 again no bump, me thinks that flight is just elite heavy for some reason.

Why does SkyWest and United have the same market cap?

The rumor is that it has something to with stock price and the number of shares outstanding. But you can never be too sure. :rolleyes::rolleyes::confused::rolleyes::rolleyes:

All of my natural disasters seem to take on a Biblical element.

Perhaps they have a marketing agreement like XE - the breakfast may have been "billed to UA" ;)

Hmm, don't move into my neighborhood. Locusts might be next.

Cyclone or typhoon in HKG? I'm sure you've left out a natural disaster or three.
