Fairly certain the poster of this message is the same person (Brad Deines) who owns and runs the nonrevcheckin site, so this is basically free advertsiting.

To oswegobag's question "Are there any websites out there than have true #'s?" I'd say definitely not. True availability information is well guarded by the airlines, for competitive reasons. Some airlines, though, publish availability information (not details) to OAL employees through their flight listing tools but in different ways. The FlyZED tool displays smiley faces based on availability information sent through Amadeus (e.g., 4's, 7's, or 9's). The BA and AF tools are homemade so they, like the ID90 flight listing tool used currently by AA, CO, F9, KL, apply a formula specific to their carrier, using true seat counts (not 4's, 7's, 9's) to display level of availability, so the smiley's or green/red lights you see there are much more accurate.
