I would have purchased the ticket from TG, and called UA to fulfill the upgrade.

Upgrades from LAX were full +/- 5 days from my departure date, even though the return was open in C. And there is no standby upgrade, so I would have called every 24 hours to request the upgrade.

I ended up buying a W-fare ticket on UA and SWUing it. Plus, having travel credits made the fare about 60% of what I would have paid on TG + the reposition.
