Better than the inventory number would suggest. I've noticed that on that particular route, UA doesn't use advance purchase requirements to the same degree that it does on a lot of other routes. Instead, they try to control the fare mix by restricting the discount inventory.
If nearly half the cabin is available, a little better than a week out, I'd say you have a reasonable chance on a Y fare, despite the fact that it's a Saturday. It may go to the gate, though, depending upon how sales do at this price point.
