On my last 5 or 6 former VX (8 FC) flights since July, I've been upgraded around T-2 regardless of how many F seats were available for purchase prior to that time. It looks as if AS isn't releasing U space on those flights and just letting the GAs process any upgrades. At least you don't have to worry about the upgrade processor malfunctioning and someone calling in to "steal" an upgrade.
