Not quite! The 'numbers' given on ASU are simply the maximum number in a single fare class that can be booked in one reservation request...usually either a '9' or a '7'. That is the most they ever show. That really only tells you that they are still selling.

Two different flights each showing a '9' could mean one has 10 seats left and the other has 110. I know which one I would prefer to stand by for! iddeals goes further and deeper in its attempt to forecast how many actual unsold seats there might be.
take care!
