Swiss International Airlines - How to identify an oversold flight?

I am looking on my flight GVA-JFK's availability and wonder whether and how much it is oversold.
Availability now is only F6 A6, a week ago there was also C4 D4 Z2 which is not showing now. Economy is zeroed.

I hope that as Senator I shouldn't worry much about getting there. My ticket is in Q-class (Economy).

So my questions:
0. Is this flight oversold? It is december 19th
1. Will my senator protect me from unvoluntary rebooking?
2. Do they also oversell business cabin? If not, there can be even chance for op-up :)
3. I fly ZRH-GVA-JFK. Should I arrive in ZRH soon (2+ hours before ZRH flight) to get boarding passes and not risk anything?

It is very much possible.

Not 100%, but you're close to the top of the food chain, so chances are slim.

They can. Other thing is that, if they have to bump more passangers form Y to C, then they might bump from C to F.

Can't you just checkin online?

Happened to me before. In such cases, you are then eligible for compensation as per EU261/04.

I was also looking on the direct flight ZRH-JFK. That is wide open in business, compared to Geneva which is open only in first. Would be nice.

Wow, suddenly business class opened. Strange thing - for more than a week it was zeroed.
Geneva is now C7 D7 Z7 / A6 F6 - cool, chance for an op-up!
Zurich lost M2 and J2, and is B3 Y3 / C9 D9 Z9 / F1
