Simple Risk-based Booking Limit
Assume the number of no-shows is independent of
the number of total bookings

E[ R | b 1] E[ R | b] [1 F (b)]{G (b C )( p D)
[1 G (b C )] p} F (b)0
[1 F (b)][ p G (b C ) D]
Initialize b=C
If p/D<=G(b-C), stop. The current value of b is
optimal
If p/D>G(b-C), set b=b+1 and go to step 2
Overage cost is the net denied boarding cost, that is, D-p
