Why would I want to do that? I didn't want to fly business class, thus the reason I paid for first class.

2-days of advance notice while I was already in the middle of traveling isn't a whole lot different to day-of-departure notice. Its not like they told me a month in advance. At the point they notified me it was a day prior to flying to CMB to position, I had already booked a non-refundable hotel in CMB, and my hands were just as tied as if it were day-of-departure notice.
