Comment: Why the hell is everyone calling this being "overbooked"? It is not!

From every report, the flight was fully booked. United messed up with their staffing plans and needed some people in another city. The flight was full. They needed four chumps to take the bait. They only found three. Then the bullying started.

United screwed up by assuming that they can just push their customers around. They are going to learn the hard way on this one. Their CEO is completely tone-deaf. He should be fired!
