So a flight with sixty or seventy seats left on it NOW, what do you think in your opinion? I know the flight on US (US Air) is oversold by quite a bit so now I am researching backups. I found an AF flight with 60 countable seats that I can count on their seat map. Do you think that one would be a decent one to go on?[/b]

call them and ask for actual numbers, at least they will give you their more accurated option.
seat maps are only valid if people choose seats at the reservation moment. I have seen many many flights that looked empty and were oversold, because many times they do not select seats until check-in.
