Non-full-Y/B upgrades are very uncommon on this route, even as a plat in a high fare class.
the old H is the new B = same fare
as for EUAs I would book a flight that meets my time schedule as if an UP will occur it most likely will be a battlefield.
SFO gets alot of people paying for FC not asa Y/BUP so if you NEED FC its best to pay for it in this mkt
