My experience is that particularly on short/medium haul flights from AMS, it is really useless to try and double read overbooking (or lack of) from availability data. Think of it that way, one US flight arriving 30 minutes late and suddenly there might be lots of empty seats on your plane. By contrast, 10 or 15 delayed passengers might mean that the next flight which shows Y9...N9 R9 G9 might end up being overbooked!
