I didn't show the whole seat map, but....
On the seat map they have 4 seats blocked in F, 23 seats blocked in C+ and 13 seats blocked in Y. The seat map is also showing about 40 open Y seats that I can pick from (some preferred some not).
I know seat maps aren't an indication of flight capacity, but my gut tells me this is not an overbooking situation...
But hey, I'd love to get on that bump-up list.

Too bad I haven't had medallion status in over a decade....
