US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Anyone online who can answer a quick question?

I am scheduled to fly home from DCA today and want to take an earlier flight than the one I'm ticketed on. I want to look up the availability on earlier flights so I can see the likelihood of being able to fly standby, but I don't know how to do this. I've heard people mentioning how to do this before - can anyone help me out with some quick info on how to figure out the availability/standby likelihood for today? Thanks so much!

Edit: I have tried Orbitz but it says seat selections are not available, and seatguru.com only tells me the configurations, not what's available.
