Essentially, no - other than than the employee website. But you could go through the process of buying a ticket on their website and when you select a seat, it will show how many are open. But that usually won't account for the over-sell. So if they have an authorized number of 58 for a 50 seat airplane, and it's booked to 49, it will show 8 seats available. At least that's how CAL works.

I never trust the online seat maps for finding loads for a flight. It only shows which seats are reserved, not how many tickets have been sold. One thing I do when I'm jumpseating on other airlines is I'll call their reservations number and list myself over the phone for the jumpseat. Each time I've done that, I ask them how full the flight is looking and they've always told me how many seats are available and how many non-revs are listed...or at the very least how good of a chance they think I have of getting on the flight. All you have to do is ask.

You'll need a password but it will give you a good, nuetral or bad indication for flights between cities. I got a password from a senior pilot at my company.
