is us the only airline that artifically raises the fare when changing a flight??

because of the nature of my work, often I have to change flights at the last minute--my company encourages me to buy the cheapest flights, so the refundable options are way too extreme. But recently I had to rebook a flight, I was totally ok paying the $200 change fee, but the flight change was several hundred dollars when booking it thru" change my flight." When I booked that same flight under a new window(not booking thru flight change, just pretending it was a brand new booking) it was several hundred dollars cheaper. with Delta (when I flew thru CVG) I was issued e credits that I could use minus the change fee, so it wasnt a bad proposition. is US Air the only airline that plays this game, or have other airlines starting doing this??
It really stinks!!!
