I would expect for 50-60%....

BTW, you said you usually fly early in the morning, so I checked EF and both CO 1045 and 345 are showing F6...
Well that sucks...I was hoping I would be at least 75%...I have enough extra travel planned for this coming year that I can test the waters with CO for a month or two before I completely decide what I am going to do....Hopefully it will work out...I see on my flight (CO 1045) there are still 5 empty F seats...I guess its going to be a gate lottery.
