I'm talking about UP fares, not full F fares. Up-fares are sold (on DL.com) as G, A, or P, but their basis is a coach fare (eg. Q, with an immediate upgrade). When things don't go as planned with these fares, there is a real possibility of you not sitting in the F cabin since the computer handles it as a coach fare and ignores the UP part. This despite the fare being sold to you as a "first class" fare.
