One of the main reasons I’ve completely given up on AA and been loyal to UA.
Unless there's been a recent change, getting confirmed SWUs on AA rebooked onto the same upgraded cabin on AA and most other JBV partner carriers (BA, JL, etc.) during IRROPS typically isn't a problem.
One difference is that when AA processes the upgrade, they actually re-ticket the reservation showing the upgraded class of service. I don't believe UA does this with GPUs.
Now if the reason you've given up on AA is that they don't have any confirmable SWU space to begin with, then I totally get that!
