Was curious, because I’ve always heard the tales of pmUA occasionally pre-emptively blocking 15AB / 15GH on the upper deck (unlimited legroom seats behind the exit row), and 1A/J in F on the 14/72/260 747-400 OB configuration for super-elites and other VIP-types.

J or F seats should be treated like this.
No more upgrades.........ever. Status is irrelevant.
Wanna sit here ? Pay for it. Improve the product 10X what it is now.
Cash or XX,XXX miles per seat. Full stop.Fly with empty seats as required. Reconfigure cabins as necessary.

I've regularly been getting that this year. GS have reported getting 2 blocked. Seems like some routes (possibly to/from SFO? other?) may have limitations on this??
