I didn't really mean to get too far on the "what is the definition of available" tangent, although I will note that the clear language of the CoC permits you at least to wait for the following flight with full-fare economy availability.
What I'm most interested in is the classic situation -- arriving at night, after the last flight out, and taking the first flight in the morning. What has the experience been with getting the rule to work (not on the internet, not with a plain-vanilla making-up-rules agent, but with the rate desk or a TA) for those situations?

Assuming you're talking about the policy in general, I think it strains credulity to think that something in the CoC is not 'policy'.

The plain language of the CoC seems to disagree.
