Upgrade to J, no seat selection - should I be concerned?
This is a new one for me. I'm scheduled on flight 211 BOS-LAX on 4-16. Woke up this morning to get the upgrade message, good news. Went to select a seat, no seats available in Business. Called in and was told that I will get a seat at airport check in. There are a lot of seats open in First. Will they being doing op ups to First? Should I be concerned about this? Should I call back? I don't want to get stuck in a middle seat in the back.

Congrats on the upgrade. What is your rolling EQD? I couldn’t even get an upgrade from IND-DFW and was 11 on the list.

Yea, that flight is F2J0Y4 but with most of the F cabin open and business completely full as you mentioned. Almost certain there will be a few cabin rolls so I wouldn't worry. A number of paid business pax will get pop-ups to F on the day of departure which will free up a few business seats. Just keep an eye on the seatmap starting about 24 hrs out.
