Anyone have any recommendations for other airlines that have better upgrade policies and hopefully better seats in Business? Or even better seats in Coach?

Thanks
Its not that AA's upgrade policy is the problem. There are genuinely a lot of people who pay for (discount) J on this route. Then given the length of the flight and the relative comfort for a domestic flight, people are willing to use miles / VIP's to ensure the uprgrade. This leaves very few if any seats for sticker upgrades.
