2-Class Oversold
I have an upcoming flight on a 2-class 777 which appears to be oversold already a few weeks out (zeroed out in both J and Y). Does anyone know if they oversell both cabins and if a IDB might come into play? As of now there are only 2 J seats unselected. Would they really oversell J on a 2-class as I don't believe they normally oversell F on a 3-class.

Yes, they would - and they would offload confirmed staff first.
If you have status, you are extremely unlikely to be IDB - you might be able to volunteer, the usual compensation being a free return trip in Flex fare bucket valid for 12 months in the class of service of your original ticket, as well as rebooking on the next service.
