0/4 for operational upgrades on transatlantic flights - BF seats were given for $10.00 to CO employee family members, but they were not willing to sell me one for less than $3K.
You should always confront the gate agent about this procedural violation, and she/he will be forced to either take the BF seats back or upgrade you to BF as well.
