Just an addendum:
After clearing courtesy (coupon) upgrades, company workers on business -not leisure- travel (which aren't many on that route, other than the ocassional flight crew being relocated) and paid upgrades, the OP will only get the upgrade if economy remains overbooked AND there's a standby/nonrev getting bumped because of it.
LATAM's airport manual states that "free" upgrades are only awarded on otherwise empty J seats if needed to accomodate a standby passenger that would benefit from the empty Y seat
