If AS's system is that smart, I'd be surprised, but you never know. I doubt this is the reason, given that the inventory was not available to book at the lower award level. The 24-hour change works if the inventory is available at the lower award level, and while I suppose they could have released some seats in between booking and the SDC, that--combined with the two different systems used (res and airport)--makes it hard to believe this is the reason.
In any case, in case anyone from AS is reading FT, everyone stop bumping this thread!
