I 2 leg it to LGA and had zero issues. I finished IOE in October and have a composite line this month, but if projections for April hold I could go back to reserve.
Positive space means they will kick out a paying passenger to accommodate you. So that is why it is not PS. Oversales also have higher priority than A12, so they can (and will) sell a plane full even if you have a confirmed seat.
How often this happens, I have no personal experience so I can't comment on it. But it's possible.
