Can't believe there were 6 people that just didn't care to raise an argument! But good for them. The big seat is the WHOLE reason I chase DM (not to downplay the other bennies).
Chances are that the 6 empty seats where last min no shows and when all of the pax on the UG list boarded, there were probably 0 seats. If I’m 1 or 2 on the list, I’ll hang it out at the gate for no shows, further than that and the odds for 3 or more no shows just aren’t very likely and I just will board.

What flight are you on? Chances are that there will be a few non-revs who will snatch up those seats at the last min if there are no UGs.
