Seat map shows 0 open E- seats, 58 open E+ seats, 18 open C seats, and 4 open F seats. Plane is a UA 772, international configuration. Seems like United has already sold more Y seats than they have E- seats, and there are probably people who don't want to pay for E+ that don't have assigned seats at all.

So...
* What are the chances that I get a TOD when I check in?
* Does UA ever sell more Y seats than the combination of E+ and E- seats it has, expecting to sell some TODs? If even under those circumstances, UA is unable to sell enough TODs, do people ever get bumped up to C/F as a complimentary upgrade even on int'l flights? If so, what determines who gets moved to the front cabin?

Flight looks open for instrument/miles upgrade with R=5. You don't get CPU on INTL of course, so if you want to sit upfront, BUY NOW !!!
