I've now seen it once - based on the above scenario. Booked load was 22. It was +1 on the 787 and a single op-up to the appropriate status Customer took care of it. It is by no means a common nor regular occurrence.

I don't think that's quite what we're talking about though. Does AC deliberately oversell, or does it only end up that way during IRROPS?

I think I mentioned it before, but I've seen UA oversell J, but J+F load was less than J+F seats, so it was easy to upgrade as necessary.

For what it's worth, I have several times seen availability on EF exceed the number of seats shown open on the seating plan (eg O6 with 4 open seats showing). I have no idea how it played out in the end.

I don't see why AC would not do the same. Especially since upgrades from PY have highest priority. Which may be why BTW.

Too bad the former AC lurkers got "scared" away from some former blowhards here... back in the day, a simple question like this gets answered by them PDQ.
