As for this AA nonsense I have to say I have been pretty lucky burning my last miles. Lucky insofar as getting cooperative agents to add/remove segments and change classes. But that has exclusively been 9-5 CT Monday-Friday. and that was 6 weeks ago.
Is this his more recent than that?

This insane change essentially eliminates what was one of the strengths of AAdvantage: you could slowly build an itinerary segment by segment, improving it as availability opens on each segment you desired. If all segments have to be available each time you tweak the itinerary, that’s gone.

Well, Delta doesn’t allow non-elites (or Silvers or Golds) to change date/time on an award ticket without a fee, so it’s for the most part a moot point.
