It certainly does and hence I am out of this game. A game that at least for full fares worked until this very year.
Flexibility doesn't necessarily mean different destinations. It may mean less direct routings. Such as taking a connection instead of a nonstop..
I live in SINg-SINg - I can't get anywhere on US soil without a connection.
So I doubt that this ever was an issue for me.

In my case the waitlists worked quite well before the merger. I'd clear in 80% of riding on cheap fares and in 100% on full fares. But not in TODland anymore.
