Anyone have any luck in getting a biz-class seat for a reduced price/miles when the PE seat you had booked disappears due to a plane change? United's 777 situation has caused them to sub a whole lot of 787-9s, which don't yet have PE seating. I got my outbound SFO-CDG switched to SFO-EWR-CDG (direct flight was cancelled, and auto-rebook SFO-ORD-CDG put us in bad seats in E+ on a packed 737 to ORD... the new routing is PE both segs). Didn't notice that the FRA-SFO segment on the return had switched from a 787-8 (version with PE) to a 787-9 (version without). Looks like no reasonable alternatives to get PE all the way back.
