I wouldn't bank on it. The flight I am on right now (a 739) had 13/20 F seats available three days ago on Thursday, and it went to the gate with 0 available. I got a battlefield upgrade after departure as I was #1 on the upgrade list.
Not sure if it is FCM, SDC, upgrades clearing prior to T-24 for people with higher fare classes than me (I'm on an M fare though which, while not full Y, is not exactly a bottom scraping fare), or rebookings due to missed connections or what, but my normal calculus on "I should clear this" has been upended.
