If so can this be done online, or do I need to call?
I'd say your chances are about as good as being offered an LBFU ORD-DFW or a cash upgrade at checkin on ATL-LGA/JFK, if you'd like more examples of airlines you are familiar with where you are also flying between two hubs that are crammed full of elites...
But if you SDC on the app and there's U available on the flight you switch to because there are ZERO people on the F waitlist, yeah, they might offer it to you during checkin. I wouldn't be making plans on enjoying the F prosecco, though.
