just curious, how did you get the pbt info for the flight? I had a friend who used to work at CO years back, and it was easy to do then, but now the agents would never give that info out. America West has a site which will disclose the pbt (intended for employees on pass travel only, but not restricted by login), but I dont think any other carrier does.

Just in case you have a crystal ball, what does CO539 MIA-EWR look like on 5/9? Many thanks in advance if you can look that one up. Last I checked, two seats were in first on seatmap.com and nothing in coach...inventory showed zeroes across. I am suspecting a heavy overbook, and alot of cruise pax traffic to keep the no-show factor down. Might be a good bump opportunity.
