Cap Oversell

Permission of rebooking over aircraft capacity is defined by this rule.

If this rule is applied to a flight, then if re-accommodation on this flight is carried out from another flight, then even in case of lack of capacity, re-accommodation will be carried out. Thus negative value of seat availability will be displayed. Decision about assigning an aircraft with a larger capacity or re-accommodation of a part of passengers on other flights is up to a user.

If this rule is not assigned, then rebooking over capacity is forbidden by default.
