Why shouldn't? So if I'm a SL with 10 sectors booked, I can book 15 cancellable round trip in next month and ask them to up me to GO? That's not how the game play... They count after you FLEW not BOOKED them

My experience: Once when I was GO with 74 sectors booked and 5 round trip bookings with a mix of D (i.e. business) and Y (really Y sub-class) on record, because of job commitment I need to change my return flight from KA993 to KA975... I reached them at 9:03 a.m. (i.e. T-71 hours 57 minutes) and guess what? Got denied my request...
I never thought about, and I think I would be unreasonable to, asking them to make me DM by then and then guarantee my seat in 975... YMMV

Flexible means if something they can give discretion as there's no hard black and white...
e.g. You'll be adult after your 18th birthday anyway... Why they can't let you apply for the adult ID card earlier?
Your behavior is no different from those yelling at check-in counter, asking "just 2kg, why you need to charge me?" or "I'm your member (GR), why you don't upgrade me to J?"
p.s. This Sat is Taiwan's voting day... Many people will be rushing back to HK on Sun evening for Monday's work... If you go to make some dummy booking you can see flights are sold out or only flex tickets are left for flights departing in the evening... Given such I think you can try go earlier and ask them to put you into an earlier flight... It would give you higher chance of getting your preferred flight than yelling at MPC...
