Thanks (I tried it and didn't get any results, but then realized I entered an invalid flight number). So back to the other point, this still doesn't really tell you how many people are booked on the flight due to people with BE fares or who have otherwise been confirmed, but without a seat assignment (which only an insider would have access to).
