OK, I'll rephrase for the benefit of those who are unable to interpolate
rational detail:

Most flights are allowed to be oversold. Some few flights in specific
high-traffic markets have predictable high show rates, and their allowed
overbooking percentage is usually very low. Other flight segments rarely if
ever fill up at certain times or on certain days, so clearly there is no
need for any overbooking policy there.

Interesting. I've been on flights that only had 10 or 15 people on
them. Musta been a lot of no shows.
