This is encouraging as I have always thought that hardly anybody ever succeeds in upgrading LAX/SFO-SIN either ways!
As R never ever seem to show up in searches, I assumed that 95% of pax in J were on purchased tickets and not upgrades.
I assume you had purchased W or higher and not L class.

3. H
4. Y-C
5. Purchased: 3/1/2018
6. Cleared after I noticed PN inventory opened up but UA hadn't auto-processed the GPU. A quick call to GS line and all is now good.

BTW...this flight still shows R=1 if someone wants to jump on it.
