Assuming 2-4 people will no show, my chances increase slightly. On the assumption EY Op-ups everyone.
Anyone want to place a bet?
It is unlikely they will op-up just to put non-revs on, but it has sometimes happened (only with direct ASO+ approval though).
However, EK also sometimes offload non-revs even with available seats in order to accept other payload so even if there are seats there may not be space, unfortunately.
