Also, my experience is that Delta always keep a few seats open for walk ups. If those seats are gone it's because they were sold. If just 1A was open then those people "walked up" sooner than you did.

ps- I can't stand 1A either, I don't get why people like to sit there.
+1, except for not liking 1A. 1A on CRJ-700/900s is my favorite seat in the domestic fleet.
