Overbooking is a policy that needs to be addressed. And yet, if we buy a ticket but can't use it at the designated time, we are severely penalized by most airlines.

There is no excuse for an airline not having plans on how to move flight crews to the right place at the right time. They have the data they need to accomplish this, and it should have been handled at the gate, not after boarding.
