There is a BIG difference between BUDDY passes and general employee pass travel. Employees and their designated companion, spouse or parents can list for F class or BF and will get it on a space available basis after revenue passengers are accommodated. Buddy passes are used by non designated pass travelers (basically your friends) and are not permitted to get the premium cabin.
So yes, you (assuming you are an employee, spouse, companion pass holder or parent) would have been eligible for F assuming it remained available.
