Most of those people volunteered to give up theirseats. 24 But the department’s statistics also show about 1.16 of every 10,000 passengers had their seats takenaway because of overbooking.Even with the higher compensation for being bumped as a result of overbooking, many passengers are angered bythe practice. 25 Overbooking, after all, helps ensure that flights are as full as possible.
