It happens, bro.
I commuted on qx weekly for 5+ years on one of the longest legs in the system. Never got bumped once summer or winter. CLP started up and it was a regular occurrence. I would check with the crew later if I knew them and the flights were rarely close to overweight. It's aag eating there own in order to boost their meaningless stats.
