Welcome to FlyerTalk!
J9 D5 C5 Z0 is a bad sign; it suggests that UA believes it can sell all of the available seats without offering discounts. It's booked 13/28, which isn't terrible in and of itself, but I tend to trust UA on this one -- even if they don't sell the seats in advance, I'd expect quite a few people to TOD once they realize how much they value sleep as opposed to sitting 10-abreast for 5 hours.
