IIRC, doesn't HA block more than just the common set of seats available on the three aircraft? Something like 70-80% of the flight is available but the rest is under airport control or something like that.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the exit rows. They probably have some seats blocked for Premier and the gold/plat elites too, but I am not sure on that one. There's also the wholesalers and travel agents. IIRC, don't the wholesalers and travel agents have to return the blocked seats back to HA after a specific period of time if the seat is not sold by them so that it can be made available on the HA website reservations?
