This is one place on the AA upgrade chart that makes such little sense to me. $25K + $350 to J is reasonable... and the improvement in the quality of the flight is pretty big.
But requiring an extra $200 just to go J-->F is silly, IMO. Particularly, AA F. Especially when you've likely already paid $3K+ for a J ticket.
