LH often promotes the PHL flights (with bonus miles) - so I don't think this flight segment is too popular = crowded in average. But ... didn't you just mention, that you can't 'afford' to go 'stand-by' on a employee-fare 10%-fare? But at the same time you want to get bumped (for the miles or $$$)?
