Does Singapore's new partner award online search "see" united award availability, or do I have to call (and incur the new $25 calling fee)?

If I book J class and the first leg doesn't have J available, can I call to upgrade the first leg if availability opens with out fee?  and can I call to reroute the first leg as long as the starting and final are the same location?

Cancelled. Enjoy the rebooking :)

Posting here so I don't annoy all the subscribers to the "Rare" thread:

Are you suggesting it is a good strategy to book a rare award with the hope that it will be cancelled due to inclement weather and then rebooking?
What is the likely outcome, and what are the chances/risks?

Can someone please clarify what options UA would offer in case of weather related cancellation of an award?
Any flexibility with dates?
