The E175 has the best upgrade chances in the fleet -- although EWR-AUS is tough to upgrade on any plane.

You're looking at it wrong. You can't just consider the total number of F seats; you need to consider the ratio of F to Y. On the E175, with 12F/64Y, 15.8% of the plane is F. The 738 is 16F/150Y, so 9.6% of the plane is F. The 739 is 20F/159Y, or 11.1%.

Here are my E175 stats on UA:
F: 44; E+: 14 (most at Platinum or below)

Here are my 739/7M9 stats:
F: 69; E+: 35

and here are my 738 stats:
F: 58; E+: 35
