Using this is a data point for myself to see if prices drop closer to departure. Last year I had just bought first when I flew, experimenting a bit this year. (Also curious if FO could get upgrade out of fortress AA in CLT).
If you roll the dice and risk the seats not being filled up in theory the price should go down...
