So, being a member of UA FF program as well, we tried to upgrade through them. Again, not possible because this is a code share flight. Is this all BS? Thanks.
You'll probably get a more definitive answer on the Continental or UA forums, but it is pretty normal not to be able to upgrade codeshare flights.
