Historic flight loads
Looking for historical records of flight loads for various airlines....is this information available on Expertflyer or anywhere else?
The idea is to work out the probability of a flight being overbooked in Y,J,F etc. on certain routes/dates. This is particularly useful for status holders targeting flights with maximum chance for OP-UPs. Or just an economy flyer who wants a row all to himself.

Good luck with that search. Most airlines do not publish that information as it is considered proprietary and used in large part to determine pricing structures for each flight. I had a friend worked at AA doing just that a few years back for the Caribbean market. Very large databases and very protected information.

If it interests anyone, I've been able to scrape this data from Delta easily (seatmap + other methods). Working on getting more precise tracking for detecting how many people auto-clear at the 5-day and 3-day upgrade windows. Feel free to PM me if you have a use for this data.
