Talking to one of the Continental agents in STL just last week I was told they've been very full, but the last several weeks loads have been a little lighter.
I know that doesn't really help you with exact loads, but hopefully it helps a little.
I've been doing it a couple times a week over the last 3 months and I've only not made it on my first choice once, and that time there were 20 open seats on the next one an hour later. I've had to ride up front my fair share of them, not lately though. Overall it's been a pretty good commute, though I can see it getting worse as it seems like there are less and less flights every week.
