UG's available 6 days out on AA vs DL

So I wanted to just see what my chances might be for UG's 6 days out (1 day later than the 5 day window for DM and EXP) from three hub routes where EXP are high in number (ORD) and DM's (MSP). Routing was to SFO, BOS or LGA using Expertflyer. Same number of available seat to LGA, but DL beats AA to SFO and to BOS. Of course this is a bit of a guessing game. This was for 1/27 and I'm going to monitor as the week goes on. Bottom line is that if you want to fly F buy it and sometimes it's not much more than coach depending upon when you buy. I'm DM and not EXP currently because I'm a bit of a hub captive but it may be (unlike what some posts say either on the DL page or the AA page) that DM may in this day and age of seats available, buy ups and matches be an easier UG than for EXP.
