+1 on all that raistlin says, not least that Classica Plus has absolutely nothing to do with Economy comfort and is an entirely different class of travel. The only difference is that I think that even in the case the flight is oversold there is absolutely zero chance they would upgrade 6 people on your reservation. After AZ top tier people are taken care of you could be lucky and get an upgrade for yourself but then it will most likely mean leaving the other 5 behind the curtain: 6 people would mean about 30% of the Classica Plus cabin capacity!
Also for info, note that on the one other airline which has Economy Comfort apart from Delta (KLM), complementary Economy comfort access is only for the Diamond/Platinum member and not for any travelling companion who would have to pay the full price for the privilege (it is exactly the same BTW for us FB Plat travelling on DL).
