It's happened to me with flights moving up in time with AS, I change to the late flight as the only feasible option and then a couple of months later my original departure comes back and I'm stuck with the late flight, paying the fare difference or waiting for an SDC and praying I don't get stuck in a middle seat...
if AS changes the schedule again (by more than 60/90 min) you would presumably get another free change ...
