Only difference between these fares: F is purchased FC, Y provides immediate upgrade if V/X space is available and B only provides upgrades during the normal Plat/Gold/Silver windows.

Which is exactly what I just said...
I am attempting to point out that the difference in price between Y/B/F might be very small. So if the OP is complaining that B fares don't give him instant upgrades, he could have just paid for a FC ticket, and it would have not cost him any more money.
