I was checking out employeeRES for the first time (excellent site) and noticed that on many flights there was alot of available seats, particularly in Y class. For example, a morning flight tomorrow from FLL to EWR at 8:45am has 74 seat available in Y class? Is this normal or is it just a slow time?

Perhaps I am being daft, but I am assuming the Available count on the PBT screen is seats not booked, or could it be the amount of people that have checked in so far?

It just seems like alot of empty seats for a flight the next morning....
