Another data point: no back ups in security or check in anywhere either.
I can second that on all but one of my flights in the past few months. (approx 5 r/ts) Plenty of room to spread out on UA and US flights these days on routes that used to be full or oversold ~85% of the time.
Also no problems with security wait times lately. Hmmm... Perhaps the numbers of paying pax are declining overall?
And I'm getting good at getting felt-up too.
