I think that it would be prudent for airlines to
1) Offer a sort of guaranteed seat option at a premium.
2) Post in large letters and in many places a notice that unless you paid the premium you might get bumped.
I dont WANT to get bumped, but it doesn’t matter to me, usually. I can see situations where I would pay more for a guaranteed seat.
A friend of my daughter,back in his free spirit days,would TRY to get bumped-————he got quite a few free trips.
