At the risk of being nit-picky, the term is Load Factor Based Upgrade, or LFBU. They aren't necessarily first class upgrades, as they can be offered from Y to J on 3-class or international flights. Sources: Upgrades (AA) page on the FlyerGuide wiki and the AAdvantage FT forum thread LFBU: Non-elite, space-available, counter and kiosk upgrades (consolidated).

I have alerted mods for a potential merge.
