BTW, EF is showing Y3 B3 M3 H3 for the JFK-LAX flight with everything else zeroed out. The seat maps show my horrible reassigned "preferred" next to the lavatory as available (so everyone else seems to think it's (among) the worst "preferred" coach seats on the plane) plus two regular coach aisle seats in the back, with some additional seats in the last few rows blocked.

Everything in PS/C+ has been consistently full (but 50% blocked per DL's current rules--nobody seems to be traveling together on this one) with W0 S0 ever since I purchased my ticket. It's now J0 etc. again for D1, but seat 1A is blocked (special needs, but IME it's usually 1B and 1C that are the special needs seats in D1? Maybe it's set aside for FA use with social distancing) and 8C has been flipping between available (as it is now) and blocked. I suspect that this *might* mean that 8C may be needed for pilot rest, but usually that's a window seat in wide body D1 (and is curtained off during the flight).

OTOH, with this being a special last flight, for all we know some seats could be blocked for top executives or PR people who *might* be on the flight.

It will be interesting to see whether any nonrevs are ultimately able to join this or the ATL flight this weekend.

I had been privately predicting that some people would cancel late on Tuesday after NYS released their list of states subject to quarantine, with the new list becoming effective starting on Friday. The major addition this week is California, with a total of forty "states" (including Guam but not DC or PR) included at this time.
