Quite the rant. You’re mad about having to pay a change fee it seems.
It sounds like you’ve flown a lot before. Did you not know airlines charge change fees?
Or, do you just think you’re unique and shouldn’t have to pay it? And because Alaska didn’t give you a deal, they’re a ‘bad airline?’

There are a lot of legit reasons people don’t like AS.
I’m not sure them not breaking their normal policy - for you and you alone - is one of them though.
