Kills me sometimes, with my $1,300.00 ticket to BOS, while some of the first class seats were sold for 400 or less, and it's pointless asking the GA (I've tried) to comp me a first class upgrade (plenty of free seats, 1/2 empty first class).

Try asking for (or have a travel agent who can find)a Y-UP26 fare (coach ticket, F seat if "A" inventory is available).
Depends on the route, but AA does frequently offer them.
