I have never heard of people getting bumped. When you get a deadhead you check in 24 hours prior and it automatically assigns you a seat. Once you get a seat you can go on to aa.com and change your seat and list for upgrades. I almost always get exit rows or main cabin extra and sometimes I get upgraded. Even on over sold flights I have got on when the deadhead home was last minute and I wasn't able to check in before hand.
