Just because an agent made an exception for you last time doesn't mean it can/must happen again. Data points on FT may be from Diamonds where agents are willing to bend the rules for their loyalty.
Changing routing AND without original fare class available for SDC is waiving multiple policies. And many agents will simply not do that.
OP is in F, there only has to be a seat available, no fare class restrictions.
