I buy plenty of tickets last minute and change my flights on high frequency routes almost every week. There's usually no way I'll get an emergency exit on either CO or UA, but on UA I will at least almost always get Economy Plus
It's official: CO is like everyone else now without the legroom and they are worse than everyone else on irr ops
OT, but in regards to the exit row seats, the new policy actually helps you, albeit only slightly, in securing an exit row seat on a same day standby. Before, anyone could choose them at the 24 hour mark... now non-elites have to pay.
