I can't imagine it taking over 1,300 but who/why cap them. Let free market and the risk that they might have to pay big bucks help determine how many seats they want to oversell.

It's capped by the federal government, although since that incident they are working to change it.

Also I messed up earlier, it's capped at $1,350 not $1,300.
