was airport agents right and i was wrong that if i hold "eseential" with change fee free, is different to "flex" ticket which allow earlier flight? had i known i was wrong i woukd have pushed so hard... so by default only J subclass at highest of all rank allows fly earlier, in same way award tickets are?

Says "Standby for earlier flight" is only available for Flex.
For Essential it would be "For a fee + potential fare difference" which in your case could be $0 but is it true this can/should only done through Reservations, or Airport Control can/should be able to do it?
