Nothing else, just for overbooking.

Which has always been something mingboggling to me why they are allowed to overbook/oversell flights in the first place. You have a FINITE number of seats, once they are sold they are sold.

If somebody misses their flight, tough **** they paid for their seat.

If their employees need seats, book them!

It ain't rocket science.

**** use to piss me off at the hotel where I worked too. Overbook the rooms? No problem, find them lodging, even if it is 50 miles away because every baseball team on the planet is in town for spring training.

My dad worked for TWA back in the day. When I flew on pass (free), I couldn't get on a flight unless there were open seats. The same with TWA execs; no open seats, they sometimes got to use the jump seats. Not a comfortable way to spend 5 hours in the air...

What is interesting is that United wanted to bump paying customers (really? I thought you were in business to make money) so that 4 employees could get to their scheduled location. Fix the schedule and move on, it should be relatively simple. This is a perfect representation of why flying sucks these days, (post 9/11), airlines are finally making a profit because of stupid fees, they figure they can be asshats to their customers and get away with it because 'captive market'....
