Dec. 26 Full. In this case, I suspect that booked + blocked = 60.
Since only 13/60 J seats are occupied, this probably means roughly 15 booked + 45 blocked.
34 people on upgrade list and would likely all get upgraded.
My projection: plane takes off with about 10 empty J seats.
Final numbers for UA 857

Dec. 25 Total 13 empty J seats at take-off

Dec. 26 Total 5 empty J seats

These numbers roughly match my predictions, considering few J pax didn't select seats before check-in. I can't get exact number of booking because UA status page showed J booked full (when booked+blocked = 60).

Everyone on the upgrade list got cleared at the gate.
