Has anyone out there understood a basic formula that helps me choose which could be good candiates for "the right flight" ?

If your flight is full in BOTH Y and J,your chance of J to F op up should be bigger. Although it shows J-I 0,in my experience,the J cabin might end up with 1 or 2 empty seats due to some noshows or fake bookings.
