IIRC the old EAL Shuttle advertised that if a flight oversold by even one, they would roll out a spare plane. Small loss on that flight, but big profit on revenue premium from “must get there now” HVCs.

The ol' sleep till you're hungry then eat till you're sleepy QNY program.

And I am still convinced it was a violation of the Geneva Convention to put that damn Cinnabon right by the lounge (closet?) in DCA.
