Change Fee Question
I have a feeling I already know the answer to this but figured I would ask the experts (FYI - Silver Elite on Coach Ticket)
I had a flight scheduled for EWR-JAX for early September but unfortunately had to change my flight due to family issues. So $150 per ticket out of pocket (The flight price was not much more).
Now I have learned that there is a possibility I will need to change the flight again - Does CO provide any break or will I just be charged a $150 change fee again? Also - If I am on an early Saturday morning flight and OLCI 24 hours before is there any chance I will be offered a flight on Friday?

Yes, you will be charged again if you change again.
For the SDC bit you have a decent chance. If you're booked on the early JAX-EWR you can fly on any of the other flights the day prior. You will have the option so long as there are seats open and you are within 12 hours of the NEW departure time. Check out the FAQ sticky; I just added a post at the end about SDC. You would be trying to apply example #1 from that post. You would be hit with the $50 SDC fee, but that is better than the $150 change fee.
