It is my impression (and others:

Just had to fly SFO/BOS last week with less than 24 hours notice (funeral); the only empty seats were the ones United needs to leave empty 'cause of weight restrictions! Barely got 2 seats together.
Even at 4 to 5 flights a day, BOS/SFO has very high demand. BOS/LAX with 2 flights a day isn't far behind.
Sad state in Boston for UA customers.
I have never heard of open seats due to weight, in either direction on this route. Especially doesn't make sense coming from west coast.
UA to SFO still has the best timing for TPAC connections, although I am skipping more and more of them using CX, KE, JL direct options.
