If I get a nice GA at my origination airport, should I be able to ask for reassignments on the connections as well?</font>
Yes. E+ is only reserved for elite members BEFORE check-in. Once seating is under airport control, a polite request should be all it takes to get you into E+, loads permitting. My parents have no status with UA, but (on my instruction) ask for E+ every time they check in. They've never been denied except when the flight was already 100% full and there were no E+ seats available.
