At the same time business class was showing more than 20 dark green seats - available seats.

Overnight all the business class seats disappeared and at the same time more than 20 economy seats in the last cabin on the aircraft became available.

It's as if more than 20 passengers seated in the last cabin got upgrades? I'm sorry but I have always tracked available seats this way and for the most part it works. I fail to see how overnight more than 20 business class seats can disappear and more than 20 economy seats reappear.
Tracking on ACs website just won't work.
I booked a YYZ-MIA segment in March for early May travel using a Latitude pass.Showed 3 J seats at booking.Tried to use the on-line u/g function and was put on standby.Looked at Y cabin and it showed 15 seats as well.
Went to Seat counter and it showed 0's across the board.
When I checked furthur,the flight was indeed sold to 100% capacity.

I waitlisted for u/g at check-in.I was called at gate for u/g.^
I believe there were a few pax that mis-connected.
