book to bump?

has anyone heard stories of people booking flights on peak travel days with no intent of flying? (bluffing and booking a refundable ticket and showing up at the airport with no wish to fly.. but only to get bumped and cancel the ticket)?
Please share your stories.

There are plenty of threads on Flyertalk about people doing this... especially around major hoilidays like Thanksgiving.

It is both an art and a science...

Check the MilageRun forum for information on this, also, try a search.

As this has nothing to do with miles or points, I'm closing it here.
