Airlines operate on the principle that a certain percentage of customers are no show. They would like to fly the planes fully booked so they allow some overbooking and they are controlling how much it gets overbooked.
If it was up to CAP there would be 200% overbooking for certain flights and the airline would go bust within a year.
This is not the case at all.
