Travelling, on what appears to be an oversold flight form CDG to YUL tomorrow. For what its worth, there are 19 unassigned seats in J-class. Although I=3, my certs are in Toronto.
Any tips on trying to get an Op-up?

This is an unpredictable route but I bet you'll get the op-up.
As far as op-ups, one time I checked in at the YOW kiosk for a flight to YVR via YYZ.
The YOW/YYZ leg was in Y, but the BP came out with a J class seat onthe YYZ/YVR leg.
Unfortunately, my flight out of YOW was delayed so I missed my connection.
But, the delay meant I flew to YVR on the Gimli Glider (seat 23A) within weeks of its retirement.
