Because that's a huge revenue loss. The basic problem is that the MUST have the planes full if they're going to make any money at all. Once the plane is full, they want to charge as much as possible for each seat. This system let's them move low-fare passengers to empty seats on other flights to make room for high-fare passengers on full flights.

The passenger already for a ticket on a plane that is full. Now, they're getting kicked out because of pure greed to make more money by the airline. I'd still be pissed. It's like Jerry seinfeld said. "You know how to take a reservation, but don't know how to hold a reservation."
- RugnirViking 9y agoThe simple flaw with almost all of these arguments is that if you don't show up, you still pay the price of the ticket. Therefore the airline makes a profit in not having to handle your luggage or anything else while still taking your money.
