Making a change for PHX-ZRH would be based on fare on best availability for PHX-PHL-ZRH

The 1st agent may have made a mistake or it could be that there was , say, a cancellation of a hold or booking and availability opened in a cheaper booking class for PHX-PHL-ZRH
On Expertflyer it showed 7 in all economy booking classes except Q and O showed 0.
Usually, I am use to chat agents making mistakes, not the twitter ones.
