The Delta seat assignment map shows 4 open BE seats and 5-10 coach seats. I'm guessing all the available seats SeatCounter is reporting is due to how much Delta is willing to oversell the flight.
Your guess would be correct. If I was a Buddy Pass I wouldnt expect to get on this flight tomorrow, nor would I expect to sit in BE even if I made the flight.
