Stop overbooking flights.

The flight was not oversold. There were 70 seats, 70 passengers, and 70 tickets. It was only the four deadheaders who put capacity over the limit.

Yes, in this case. But overbooking is common, causes similar issues, and this incident has at least highlighted it in the media.
