Call 1: "can't same day change on part of itin. We can only change origin to destination."
(that may be accurate. Never done this before)

Call 2: "we can confirm the change with no fee, but you will lose the upgrade. We can't process over the phone within 24 hours, so you will go into the queue."
(again, may be accurate)

Call 3: "looks like space is available! Do you mind traveling a row separated in F?". Tickets were signed, sealed, and delivered.

Was agent 3 against company protocol?
As for agent #2, I did a GPU for R space within 24 hours of departure a week or two ago for an international flight. Just another data point.
