Just doesn't seem right as it the same price for the regular customer. I've spent God knows how much $$ through the years on these fees! Sigh.
Be glad it's only $75 (half of what most of the competition charges) and that there is a possibility to earn a waiver at all at any level. I'm not aware of any other domestic airline that waives change fees for elites, so I wouldn't expect AS to ever expand the benefit to lower-tier elites. If anything they'll remove the benefit for Golds.
WN of course has no change fees to begin with, but you also have to give up First Class, flights to AK/HI, and an awards program with aspirational international premium cabin awards.
