My sister was on the 9 am flight and as a silver she was the only one on the wait list with six seats still open after she got the u/g. She got an EAU, I guess the other 5 people were non-elites on Y? In any case that is a lot of battlefields, especially for a transcon. Sorry to bring the dreaded food discussion into this but she did say they announced before the flight took off that despite it being printed on the menu, there was no french toast at all. Two meal options left on a transcon seems a bit tacky.
