to Rich Maglas. if you are/were a commerical pilot then you know EVERY airline overbooks according to a no show factor. Most times everyone does get a seat. Unless the weather was bad the day before or it's during a holiday or worse both, then it's a real problem

I know the airline I work for what you paid has nothing to do with who gets a seat in an overbooked situation, but who checks in first. So check in on line 24 hours prior and you'll be on the top of the list IF you didn't get a seat.

To all if you're having trouble using the travel vouchers you're flying the wrong airline. Our airline gives vouchers that are used just like cash, except you don't get anything back if the ticket is less and you can't use for more then one ticket each. So if any of you plan your trips around overbooked flights check the airline's policy about the vouchers.
