Yes, once you check in, you have a seat on the plane someplace…just not an assigned one. Wha you get on your boarding pass is a group letter (a, b or c) and a number within that group (1-60).

Then you line up when the gate agent calls by boarding group and number.

Once you get on the plane, you choose your seat.

I have been on planes that are overbooked, just like every other airline. If that happens, the gate agents will offer incentives for folks to give up their seats…and the plane won’t go anywhere until the number needed do so.
