Unless you have a compelling reason why you must get on this flight, I wouldn't send a chaser too far out, as they would definitely fill the flight with revenue passengers first as much as possible.
Thanks for the advice.

I do have an alternate confirmed booking but I'll follow up about a month before the planned departure date.
