Seems completely arbitrarily. Is there some logic to this or simply a poorly written algorithm on the part of United IT? BTW, the flight is completely empty in J right now! SFO-BOS in late August...

Any sense of how often this brilliant algorithm refreshes? Weekly, daily?
I only wish I experience this more often, quite honestly I have seen PN AND PZ BOTH ZERO far too often. I can’t even remember when I’ve seen PN space greater than zero. Of course, as usual, YMMV.
