Airlines are always on the edge of bankruptcy. Seriously, take a look at any airline's annual report. The only hope they have of making any profit whatsoever is to ensure as close to 100% of seats are filled as possible. Since an average of, say, 5% of people cancel, you overbook by that percentage. The problem only comes when things aren't average.

Honestly, we should be focusing on the TSA violating the Constitution, not overbooking.

Are you saying airlines are secretly making tons of money?

They're not.

Why ban something when you could far more easily boycott it?

demands for the government to regulate all of our problems away only create more problems.

Have you ever looked at an airline's annual report? Here's a link to United-Continental's financial data, including the latest annual report.

They don't have any money to count. Airlines are terrible businesses.
