so I did OLCI a couple hours ago and discovered that they have swapped in a 24F jet ... I'm still in 21A, but this is now at the 2L door which means my laptop bag has to go in the overhead bin ... grrrrrrrrr

the (admittedly unauthoritative) seat map still shows three unclaimed coach seats (two exit row middles, and one aisle about halfway back), and we're up to six greyed out in F

GM, U fare ... I'm still not holding my breath ...

for those buying JFK-SEA tomorrow, all four flights (two with 16J, this one with 24F, and one with 26F) are being sold in C ... I checked connections from DCA/BWI/PHL/BOS/RIC and found significantly higher fares for the J birds (which is as it should be, but is actually not a consistent occurrence)
