You First for QR metal

In practice, will You First help with a BA award reservation on QR metal?
The web page says no: "...flights operated by British Airways".

BA award on QR in F.
QR12 on Oct. 16 now cancelled. BA rebooked me on QR2 in J.
Yet earlier flights QR10 and 4 are operating with F available for sale.

What are my chances?

You are likely to get through to YouFirst in less time than you took to type this post. Just try them!

A call at this hour will get you through to the India GGL call centre who I tend to find are superior in terms of being amenable to changes and assistance.

Took your advice and called. Indeed, no wait.
Datapoint - they didn't have a problem trying to help. "BA metal only".was never mentioned.
On the other hand - not that helpful.
"No F seats available as award inventory. Flight is on a partner so we can't do much" sort of a deal.
Irritating.
