I think the most is 5% - 10% depending on the type of aircraft. More seats, more overbooking.
And how I wish the author would be bumped-off in a place like Basilan by our local airlines. He has so much hatred on our local airlines without even understanding the whats going on.

i was just thinking that CAB should put a cap on the number of overbooked seats.

There this one story about a Cebu Pacific flight turning its aircraft into a "jeepney". The a/c wasn't full so they had to get other passengers with later flights until it was filled. I think overbooking should be placed on a minimal percentage as its really a big hassle that one expects to leave on a certain time just to get bumped off.

right. while this is how airlines protect themselves from non profitability of a certain flight, our government needs to make sure that overbooking is not over-overbooking. if i have time to spare, magvovolunteer ako ma bump off pero pano pag wala? syempre maiinis ako, lalo kung may hinahabol kang schedule. most LCCs pa naman issues non endorsable tickets.

Kawawa ang passenger at the end of the day. I think best way is to keep them informed that they are part of the overbooked list already and that there are chances they may be bumped-off or would have to take the next flight. At least at the end of the day, expectations are met.
