That simplistic code will result in airplanes flying with empty seats.

Since jet fuel airplanes are probably the most expensive form of travel that's 2nd only to space tourism flights on liquid oxygen rockets, it would be an irresponsible waste of energy.

To be clear about the specific problem we're trying to solve, it's the involuntary bumping instead of the voluntary ones.

Why is using "empty seats" the superior solution instead of raising the financial incentives to attract volunteers to be bumped?
