DL Payload Optimized Flights

I'm trying to do a quick 2 day turn into TLV in about a week and I get the popup on deltanet that the flight from TLV is payload optimized. Does anyone have any experience on these flights or specifically the TLV flight and how often nonrevs don't get seats or get downgraded? Since it's such a quick turn if I don't make that flight I'd be in trouble and would be looking to get home on the Emirates flight from DXB to make sure I get home in time. If that doesn't work I'd be in danger of missing work. There are about 100 open seats on the return so there's at least a little less weight.

Its doable. We ship heavy during the week on that flight mainly Wednesdays so give it a shot. Lots of cars lately..

Yeah my problem is that I'd be leaving Sunday and coming back on that early Wednesday am flight.
