FLY, ExpertFlyer & Blocked vs Occupied

I'm a Blue BAEC member, booked into Y (discount bucket, think O from memory) on BA273 LHR-SAN on Monday (17th).

It seems that FLY has kicked in at T-72 as described in the theoretical seating dashboard thread and blocked out the majority of the Y cabin - I now see only middle-section seats in MMB, with the rest showing as "blocked" in EF (see attached image).

Now, I'm almost certain that the "blocked" seats are being blocked by FLY. So, I'm beginning to wonder on my chances of securing a window seat at OLCI tomorrow.

So do the "blocked" seats in EF constitute actually paying customers that have had a seat reserved/allocated but not confirmed, or have they just been blocked out by the FLY system?

Also, can anyone with status check the Y seat-map for that flight and confirm/deny what I'm seeing?
