I don't really understand the reasoning behind overselling seats. Every time I hear it happen when passing though the USA I am reminded of the Seinfeld line,
"You know how to take the reservation, but not how to hold the reservation."
Clearly there is some sort of profit motive for the airlines, but how can this be legal. It seems wrong to oversell a limited resource like this. Even if not legal it feels scammy on the lines of "upto" speeds for ISP's.
