Those flts go out nearly every hour so UG chances are decent. But far from great. They fill more than most realize.

Funny, I was on the 3:55 a couple months ago and wanted to SDC to an earlier flt. All of them were full but got a standby seat on something like the 2 pm flt. Cost me my UG but whatever.

Point is, the 3:55 is a difficult flt to UG. The earlier ones may be no better but at least you are mid-week. Best chance might be maybe around 11 am or so. Best way to know is pick up a subscription to Expert Flyer.
