I'm lost. He backs up that statement with a bunch of stuff that was reported already?

Interesting, as they specifically carved it out of the free change policy.

The interesting tidbits I found were the DP in the responses.

Always varied by date and route.
AA BE is still around.

Was available on this route (PHL-ORD) last week with lots of dates. Now it's not showing up at all.

(Extremely frustrated with my wife's school for only giving winter vacation dates on Friday. Really sucks to blow 36k BA on this trip.)

Comes and goes on all routes and dates. Testing it out either way probably.
