While there is currently no way to see CO F-class availability directly, if one knows (or can establish) the correlation between the the standard business award class (E/CS) availability, the non-restricted business award availability (P/CA) and the upgrade availability, then upgrade availability can be estimated using those factors ...

Looks like Amadeus - Enhanced Seat Maps. I get the error:
"Error Retrieving Seat Map Data: Unable to initialize the Seat Map engine"
Hmmm...seems dependent on the query. Not all queries cause a problem, however clicking on any of the non-stop flights in the query below seem to give the error:

Ohh, and I had trimmed out the connecting flights which is why they were all non-stop 
The query brings back connecting flights as well.
I also ran into something on another query with seat maps, maybe related? It was telling me that a certain cabin didn't exist on the flight. It was a CO flight and I was checking for business (which used to work). However it would let me bring up F which would be more typical of UA.

Inconsistency between CO website and KVS. The website is showing R3 RN3 I3 IN3. But KVS is showing:
[KVS Availability Tool 6.8.1/Diamond - ITA: Awards-Upgrades/CO]
This is true whether logged in as an elite or as a general member. Further confirmed because my reservation is allowing up to 3 more seats to be upgraded to with miles.
Edit:
More information. It seems that if I do a regular flight search it does come up as 0 for all four fare classes. However, if I click on the fare class from my reservation it lists 3 across the board. Weird.
