Am flying in Z (which was already over $7,000!!) and oc course could not UPG with GPU because of booking fare too low. 1K agent told me that F is available for the usual 25,000 miles plus $500 and I have been offered a paid upg at check in $895.

Am not taking the bait even if the C seat is the abysmal sUA - will they send F out empty if nobody buys-up?

Yep. They'll send F out empty if nobody buys-up. Only if Y oversells more (causing more J seats to be blocked filling up the J cabin) will they extend the "blocking" to F.
