I find this whole situation crazy. Why can't United just have pity on their customers and just extend the free changes policy through May. At this rate everyone is having flights canceled.. and I can't risk losing the miles or having all my money tied up in flights that can only be changed in March, and cannot be changed in April without paying a $125 fee.

Anyone else agree with this or in the same boat?
