If biz class does end up full before my upgrade clears, does AA bump up biz class passengers to First to accommodate EP upgrade with miles request?

Seems lose/lose for them/me to fly First empty when there's a revenue-generating (co-pay) EP upgrade on the biz class waitlist.

Any tips/insights appreciated.
They do not op-up to F from C unless C is oversold and they need to for operational reasons. If Y is oversold, they will upgrade Y to C and then C to F. They definitely will not do it to accommodate the upgrade list.

F will fill up with full mileage redemptions, full fare (most likely corporate contract) F, and non-revs.
