I think that they have these rules to prevent people from "gaming" the fare system by buying a cheaper ticket and later switching. Although I agree with the general notion that the agents should be given more discretion.
What I don't understand is why you guys would give up F seats for a lousy $200? Too much sun on South Beach?</font>
This is where we goofed - we had asked for F seats on US Airways, and half assumed our request would be met especially since the agent seemed nice and willing to go the extra mile.
Hence my advice at the end of my original post - do not let ANYONE offload you until you are comfortable with what you have been offered.
