Was on a flight last night - SEA-IAD - went out full with several employees as well (all in Y btw). Earlier in the evening I was told it was oversold. The point being that the flight may go out differently than what you see on any map due to no-shows, misconnects, etc. Finally, realize that they will usually op-up based upon status if they do it at all.
