Southwest's overbooking as a calculated way to make money is exactly why I don't fly Southwest.
They claim they are protectiing themselves from no-shows. But if these "no-shows" have bought tickets but don't show up -- so what. Southwest should fill those seats with stand-bys or not fill them at all. You then charge a fee to the "no-show", $75 or so, to try and use the ticket for a future flight. This is what the other carriers do and their overbooking rates are 10-20% of Southwest's.
If you really need to be somewhere, like a business meeting, DO NOT FLY SOUTHWEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
