IKK requires positive space, which there is not.

I don't know what most people with the benefit say, but if that's what they say, they'd be wrong.

*Basically anyone with access to a terminal. Aeroplan call center agents, AC call center agents, anyone who works at the airport, etc. I'm sure if you call Aeroplan, they'll tell you something like "it's booked 186 of 184" if you ask nicely.
so if you know there is a lot of open J seats and Y is oversold, then as a SE it's a good idea to buy, not eUp and hope for an Op Up?
