Does southwest overbook, this of overbooking and my flight to Miami thing too for American, if the flight arri?

I am using Southwest to fly to TAmpa this week that leavse at 2:30 pm from Manchester nh and leaves back to MAncehster at 10 am on Sunday. Will the flight be overbooked and does SOUTHWEST OVERBOOK



in a week or two after that, I am using American Airlines to fly to Miami on a Friday evening from Boston and flying back to Boston From Miami on A sunday night. WILL THE FLIGHT BE OVERBOOKED AND WHAT IF IT IS??? Why would it be??? Does American overbook and what if they cannot find enough volunteers?



I fear not even getting to the gate early will stop me from being involuntarily bumped off



Ok what if my flight is overbooked and its the last flight to leave for the night to where I am going and I am involuntarily bumped off, what will they do for me and what if there are no flights left leaving for that night, what will they do for me, and for getting me to my destination and will they put me in a hotel and what if the only hotel around is ones with no airport shuttle service, how will I Get there. AND WHAT IF I HAVE TO GET TO WORK THE NEXT MORNING AS THATS MY FLIGHT HOME????????????????? what will I DO?? Will they still put me on that plane? I will be upset with them



and when I am tired and need to sleep on the plane what will keep me a wake or keep me from sleeping?



and for the short time to change planes, what if In the future I have to change planes for a trip and the plane gets there late and I miss the connection. HOW WELL WILL THEY ACCOMIDATE ME AND I FEAR IF IT LEFT LATE DUE TO WHETHER I AM SCREWED AS AIRLINES DONT SEEM TO BE VERY AND IN THE LEAST BIT ACCOMIDATING TO PEOPLE WHEN WEATHER AFFECTS The flight. what if weather or air traffic causes the plane to leave so late I miss my connection



if one is near the back of hte plane and the plane is big and full, is it possible it could take them 20-30 minutes to get off and how could that happen? I feel there is no way it could take that long to get off but how could it happen?Does southwest overbook, this of overbooking and my flight to Miami thing too for American, if the flight arri?
I used to work TWA (Trans World Airlines) reservations office in Philadelphia. One time I sat next to a woman who had been in the reservations office since (I'd bet) WW II began back in 1941. Anyway, she had a passenger on the phone who went on and on about this problem and that problem about this trip. After a few minutes she had heard enough and cut him off with this question, "Sir... do you know what TWA stands for?" There was a short space of time in which I'm sure he gave the correct answer. She came back with, "No Sir... it stands for Try Walking Across !!!"
