Booked DEN - LAX coach and LAX - HNL FC, I never have high hopes of clearing CPU as a gold but this is what I found in my email this morning. What does this mean? Does it mean now, I can be a total DYKWIA? 
More empathy for the pain people who's CPU's do not clear, since now I will know the joys and sadness of clearing and not clearing CPU's?

This year has been pretty good to me as a lowly Silver as well. 4/6 on CPUs this year. I should have cleared on a 5th, but the FA didnt seek to call me up from Y, when the person ahead of me on the upgrade list refused the upgrade to F.

GA's may enlist the FA's help but FA's are not involved in the upgrade process.
And as mentioned, refreshing your app BP may also address this if the GA does process the COU.

Somehow another pax behind me got upgraded too but there was only one available seat upfront. GA became apologetic to that pax and told him he would get ETC for her incompetence

That's a pretty good first CPU.
My first ever upgrade on United was LAX-SFO on a 737-300 using an old electronic 500 miler cert in 2004. I got a Diet Pepsi in a glass and the gross snack mix they used to have there. I think you beat me on this one, OP

PHX to LAX was my first CPU, and first mileage run. I was so excited then.
UA still operated from the now defunct T2.
My fare was $8 or $9, part of PHX-LAX-EWR
