You can call and ask if you are trying to decide to decline a CPU. (And I believe seatmap view might be free on EF)
And we have to see how well UA handles the notifying of customers for >70% loads, but that has not been a recent issue for economy flyers in / out of HNL.
Best to assume F will be full, inherent in UA's CPU process.
But more on UA middle seat policy in
