Even perhaps Y9 but that would be pushing it unless J was also completely empty. In this case J9 and R9 so yes, J is also available. Anyway moot point unless I decide to go.
Your expectations are unreasonable.
I've seen flights that were Y9...S5 when it was overbooked already.
If RM thinks that a Christmas flight to LAS has a high likelihood for cancellations or no-shows, they will overbook it more than usual.
The easiest way for an SE to check the load in Y on a flight is to see how many seats you can IKK. IKK is working fine.
