Remember that quite a few seats are reserved for airport control (to accommodate families, etc). Once those are opened up, a few more seats are likely to be available at check in.

Thanks for the thoughts anyone. I was wondering if there was anything new on this since the previous bump discussion. I will check on seat assignments coming up to my flight date, and will definitely check in on-line as close to 24 hours in advance as I can. But if they need volunteers, $200 and no hotel voucher won't do it for me.
