There are daily operational realities that lead to situations such as this. To categorically label this a cockup indicates you haven't considered that possibility.

I have made my mind up based upon:
What I have read on here.
What I have seen in videos.
What I have seen on the news - including the interview with Oscar Munoz.
Just like EVERYONE else who has made a comment - you included.
Anyone who thinks that a cockup did not occur is, quite frankly, deluded. Someone, somewhere failed to get crucial information to the boarding desk in a timely manner. Whoever decided on what to offer in compo to try and get volunteers got the numbers wrong. Whoever had the power to find alternate methods of getting the crew from A to B failed to look at all options.
In a way you are right; not a cockup but a series of cock-ups.
