Not IRROPS but a schedule change. In October on a P fare with an underlying V basis code (which I did not know about initially). UA downgraded the aircraft to a 145 with no first (its amazing how far they are flying these birds these days). I wanted to swap to a different routing with F and it required a HUCA and then a discussion with a supervisor as I was told constantly the ticket I has was economy with an upgrade. After 45 mins I had a new routing, but despite all this, the one short leg I still had in a 145 was in V and not full Y as it should have been (with implications for PQM and RDM earning).
