I assume not wait listed. Because it's r8 and nobody listed on wait list. And since it's not CPU eligible cuz international. I'm trying to figure out what eligible means...
By selecting a seat in F, you are basically asking UA to upgrade you, for which they will charge you. The 25 you see may be a combination of employees and paying customers requesting upgrades with miles/$ or upgrade instruments.

Your post is a little confusing. Where are you getting the 25 from? Can you provide snapshots of the various pages you're pulling info from?
