Did you say you fly Southwest two to three times a week or two to three times a decade? Frequency of buying WN tickets is what makes the difference between
no fee and "fee".
You change tickets at no charge. That is a fact. You can continue to rationalize your selfish behavior all you want, but it does not change the fact that you are defrauding Southwest when you do this. Keep it up, and Southwest will institute a change fee, and that screws over all of us.
