I cleared my first CPU of the year as a Gold with a Wed later afternoon BTV - ORD flight. 737 with 16 seats, 7 seats empty at T-24 check in, cleared a few minutes later.
ORD - LAX, I was 15 of 30, which is pretty standard (1/2 way down the UG list).
LAX - SBA 11pm Wed flight, also had 7 empty seats at T-24, didn't clear and I wound up at #2.
