I disagree. Several times I have seen empty seats on "overbooked" flights. You are assuming the airlines are better managed than they are. They overbook and usually fill in from tickets that have not checked in. If you check in online that throws a wrench in the works. If it doesn't harm the airline you are still not out anything. At a minimum you have used up 20 to 30 min of a reservation agent's time. That too costs the airline money. Instead of arguing with me why don't you tell your employer to treat their passengers well?
