Vacant seats suggests late arrivals / missed connections and/or a lazy GA.
I could've gone into more detail in my first post. I think I was the last to board (was at the SC) about 20 minutes before scheduled departure. When I arrived at the gate I said to the the GA that I knew First had checked in full, but asked if it had "boarded full." Sometimes I can score an upgrade that way. He responded yes it had boarded full, but moved me from a C+ row with one other pax (middle seat empty) to one that was totally empty.
