Best luck is going to be at the airport and probably at the gate rather than the ticket counter - not over the phone. Though I haven't had this happen in quite a while so I wouldn't count on it.

#1 and #2 are really the only ones that matter in this scenario.

GA's seem to do it the most...although last month i called the plat line to get protected on another flight since my flight kept getting delayed and when i went to the gate to get my boarding pass it printed out in A

I think IROPS to Y/F is much more common than SDC to Y/F. I have had a few SDC to Y this year, and many more IROPS to Y/F. In my data sampling of 2 this summer, seems that when flight is diverted to Greenville and you call SMS for rebooking you always get moved to Y/F

I agree, but the reason for my delay was mechanical so it was only really IROPS for our CRJ flight

I SDC'd into Y about a month ago at the MSP SC. That was the one and only time I've ever gotten it, otherwise it's been original fare class no matter what method I used.
