Delta.com won't show it as eligible for First Class (I or Z) with companion cert.
Z, I can understand if it requires UTXV since there's no UTXV available. But plenty of IQKL available.
Searching for FC availability with Reserve certs often seems to have issues (people have reported being able to get flights by calling if website not allowing them for some reason when there is I or Z fare availability and they should be bookable). There are definitely I fares bookable on this itin without the cert (it's letting me book up to 4 seats in LA7OA0FE I fare due to L4 availability which is what one would expect -- attempting with 5 pax or more on booking, it bumps fare to KA7OA0FE I fare as expected).
