Work the arithmetic of my example again.
100 seat airplane. $500 tickets, all non-refundable. Sell 101 of them. One passenger no-shows. Revenue $50,500
Same 100 seat airplane. Sell only 100 tickets. One passenger no-shows. Revenue $50,000
But not all fares are the same price, and one of four that provisionally booked a more expensive flexible fare on there is now taking an earlier or later flight. For a slight difference in price, not a whole new fare.
