If the screen is showing F0 Y0 even though not everyone may have made it to the gate (or even checked in), it is probably within the bounds of reason to say "totally full."

And just how have these announcements materially affected your life? - they have apparently materially affected mine, as I respond to your drivel with my own drivel.
