I now realize that there is no auto-cabin upgrade for AA at the PLT level. I tried to change flights on the AA website but it doesn't look like I can change to USAir metal.

Wanted to ask the braintrust here. Is this even possible? Do I need to call customer support? Seems like a no brainer to always book USairways if AA PLT. Am I missing something?

It's a nonrefundable fare but wasn't able to see if I would get any credit back if I cancelled it.

Thanks in advance!
What's the ticket's change fees? Does US have the same fare available, or would you pay for a higher fare too?

Anything is possible in this regard; you must be willing to undertake the task and pay the cost.
