They don't expect that at all (they just don't tell you that outright). Use the timetables to find the flight or connections you'd like to be changed to. Call reservations, and as long as there are seats available and the flights you want make sense -- like you ask to connect in SFO so that you can leave LAX at about the same time you were originally scheduled to -- they should make the change with no problem.
