What are the rules for upgrades? My reservation says - NOT COMPLIMENTARY UPGRADE ELIGIBLE.
It's a main cabin (X) and (L) fare flight, and I have 3 companions on the same reservation. I was able to select preferred seating for us. Why does it say not complimentary upgrade eligible? Is it because PVR is Mexico instead of US? Will I be able to get C+ or F at the appropriate window assuming availability exists?

Its a known glitch where a lot of intl “business class” listed flights (or domestic segments continuing an intl flight number) show Not Eligble, but you are fully eligible for the upgrade on those segments.

It’s fast becoming nearly impossible to get F upgrades on mainline as Silver (for me at least) so enjoy them when you can!
