[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pilot friend for United just told me that most of the flights this week are oversold, btw. It's a busy travel time.[/quote]

Looking at the flight 3411  http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/10/523275494/passenger-forcibly-removed-from-united-flight-prompting-outcry    it departed 2 hours late and was an Embraer 170/175 (twin-jet)

Embraer 170 seats=6 first class+16 economy plus+48 economy=70 seats
Embraer 175 seats=same as above but 6 more 1st class seats totaling 76

Delta/express jet runs even smaller planes on that route-37 seats.  SW runs big planes on weekdays from Midway airport in Chicago to Louisville.  We used to fly routes that required a stop and went on SW rather than others because if they had to switch out planes there was less chance of bumps.  Ever go to dulles and see the United walk out planes where they can sub a turbo prop on a short route?

On some of those routes you can go jetblue from Reagan on a large jet.
