Someone needs to tweak the yield management computer...

Tomorrow I'm taking CO 1148 ATL-EWR. Up until a couple of days ago the ITN display looked something like this:

A7 D7 F0 Y9 H9 K0 B0 V0 Q0 T0

Flight 1148 now displays the following info:
A8 D8 F0 Y9 H9 K9 B9 V9 Q9 T8!

Given that we're talking about the day before Thanksgiving, I think the yield management computer went bonkers on this one. How could the flight be so empty??? And this is not simply a one-flight fluke. Most of CO's other ATL-EWR flights are just as empty. DL, on the other hand, is virtually sold out for tomorrow on the same route.

Guess I can forget about playing the bumping game tomorrow...
