If you and everyone else will indulge my curiosity for further speculation. I checked the flight again this evening and the buckets changed from the original (first row) to the second row. Does the change mean anything impactful? Still no PN or PZ space, and still the same amount of Polaris seats available as before, but curious as to the significance.

J9 JN9 C7 D5 Z5 ZN5 P3 PN0 PZ0 IN0 I0 O3 ON3 A2 R1 RN0
J9 JN9 C8 D6 Z6 ZN6 P4 PN0 PZ0 IN0 I0 O4 ON4 A3 R2 RN0
Just a guess, but looks like a Polaris customer cancelled and the added seat in Polaris is now reflected throughout the previously existing fare class inventory (everything is +1) in Polaris and PP, the latter in which UA will oversell into Polaris inventory. And the J9/JN9 means there's at least 9 seats available for purchase in Polaris, not necessarily just 9 - UA maxxes that particular number at “9", for whatever reason. Example - 11 , 12, and 9 buyable Polaris seats will all show "J9" in the list we see. PN being zero is annoying, but P3 10 days out is somewhat of a good sign relative to UA's expected sales (low) in coming 10 days, but the route does have a lot of Premiers with miles and PlusPoints to use, and they're probably sitting in PP.
