This is one area of commercial aviation I just do not understand. Just another head-scratching issue that plague this industry. I just used a $900 Delta voucher I received last year for taking a "bump" which turned out to be a simple 3 hour delay to my day. Compensation for over-booking must be costing the airlines a fortune. Maybe someone could explain how over-booking a flight is a good business practice.

I think it has to do with people not showing up for a flight and still wanting a refund on their ticket. SO it leaves potentially empty seats, money that could be had.

Sounds like the end is near for them as the 787-10 is coming there way soon.

if airlines have to discard that expensive aircraft in 10 years then it is not worth. how come some of the united 747's were running for 24 years or more with passengers

I don't think they "have to" get rid of them as much as new options, new cabin layouts (First Class Showers etc..) become available on newer models. Older ones are retired for cargo. I know AA sold off all of it's MD-11's to Fed-Ex who still flies them today.

that's the problem w/ those forums (and beyond!): people with not even half-baked "fake information" are chiming in; suggest to educate yourself on Airbus and how the company is structured! Start by googling the CEO.

Both of those manufacturers are very capable.
