IND: Memorial Day Wknd
 
Hey all I need assistance for all you crazy Hoosiers (and others familiar with IND).

I want to maximize my bump opportunities, and I know that while Memorial Day isn't as heavily traveled as say, Turkey Day, but we all know it's Race Weekend in Indy.

In your experience, how are the loads on the Monday of that weekend? I'm flying Monday the 29th on AA, and I imagine there are a ton of people trying to leave that day. Here are the flights to ORD that I can make:

Departing
9:00am - M80 (about 30 Y seats unassigned, F7 A7 P5 Y7 B7 H7 K7 M7 L7 W0 V0 G0 Q0 S0 O0 N0)
11:05am - ER4 (10 unassigned, Y7 B7 H7 K7 M7 L6 W3 V2 G0 Q0 S0 O0 N0)
12:27pm - ER4 (20 unassigned, Y7 B7 H7 K7 M7 L6 W4 V4 G0 Q0 S0 O0 N0)
2:16pm - ER4 (12 unassigned, Y7 B7 H7 K7 M7 L4 W2 V1 G0 Q0 S0 O0 N0)

Without the race, I would just take the 11:05 anyway. But a little strategy never hurt. Yes, I know, it's hard to tell more than 2 months out, but any guidance is appreciated! I might even buy some crystal ball polish for you ^

PS - I'm also flying in from DTW-ORD-IND on Sunday the 28th... any advice there?
