Will JAL priorities their FFs above BA?
J-F upgrades are relatively rare even on BA aren’t they?
You need an overbooked J cabin and space available in the much smaller F cabin to even make it a possibility in the first place.
I suspect these things vary by route considerable but assuming J is oversold F is likely to be somewhat busy too so in the rare chance the scenario does arise, if 50% of F seats are free and J is oversold by at least 7, you’ve still only got at best around a 1/8 or so chance of being selected, then times in the odds of the oversell happening and I suspect chances are v slim.
