That is for F upgrades. Not paid first. If u have a paid first class seat you will go on the priority list and cleared j to F if available. If not available, u are suppose to be given the choice of Y or waiting till the next flight.

And you get a pittance of a refund if you are downgraded from a first class seat that you paid for.
