I'd honestly not expect the outbound to clear. Assuming the flight is operated by a 332 with one seat blocked for crew rest, you already have 7 of 19 seats (~40%) assigned over four months out, and at this rate the cabin could fill up with revenue pax several weeks before departure. The return looks far more promising at this point in time.
