Cleared when I checked my bag this morning at IAD. Seems IM was really wrong about the flight--they didn't sell another revenue F ticket, and cleared everyone who was waitlisted, plus had someone request an upgrade during boarding and take the last F seat.

We'll see what my redeye return does--it's still waitlisted.
