Success upgrading to F in Feb 11
I flew BOS-SFO on the 8 PM flt. As AA pulled out of the market, VX was the only choice at this time. I was able to upgrade to F in the 6 hr window fairly easily.
Not sure if my experience is an indicator of F availability. I understood from the FAs that someone important had booked a couple of seats in F and cancelled in the last minute.
