No. What I mean is that while they officially say tickets can be cancelled only 22 days out and more, in reality, this has always been a cash grab - if you're willing to pay $180, you could always cancel 2 hours in (by calling, first moving your ticket to another date more than 22 days out, and immediately cancelling it).
I suppose there were the odd cases where your PNR was 11 months old and you literally had no space to push out the ticket, but those are fringe cases. For the majority, cancellation of any ticket within 2 hours has always been available for $180.
