With BE fares, which are probably quite popular among Spring Break leisure-type travelers and even right now due to seat-blocking are even somewhat popular among some more frequent FFers who would otherwise never go with BE, it's impossible to really tell what the load on the flight is just by looking at a seat-map.
Florida is one of the few areas maintaining a high level of capacity (and even seeing increases) while other regions of the country have seen significant cuts - all due to changes in travel patterns in the COVID world. For example, on ATL-FLL on 3/26, ATL-FLL is 12x. DTW-FLL is 7x. ATL-MCO is 14x on 3/26, including multiple widebodies right now. ATL-TPA is 12x on 3/26.
