Change of FLL -> MIA not ok?
I've got a flight booked FLL-EWR-XXX that I'd like to change because of the waiver and me having a very tight schedule where I can't afford delays. There are no alternative flights (with seats available) FLL-XXX, but there are MIA-XXX. I've called twice and tried chat twice and all four times they've said they can't change the origin airport from FLL to MIA.
Any idea of recourse here? Is there anything I can do or do I just need to accept that it isn't possible to change from FLL to MIA?

Do you know if there is anything I can ask UA-agents to lookup?

Unfortunately even SDC will not work
What is the cost of a voluntary change?

The waiver rules are pretty back and white

Does UA serve Presque Isle?
I am just curious about my connection to EWR on Sunday. The aircraft will be directly from PQI (Presque Isle, Maine). Does UA serve this airport at all? Hopefully, my flights won’t be impacted by weather for this Sunday.
here is the screen shot of “where is this aircraft coming from”
Edit: I got my answer with another click. Yes, there is EWR-PQI flight.

Changed my flight from ex-JFK to ex-EWR
Got my (cleared) PlusPoints refunded after the change, but still in J cabin. Assuming I can fly, I would travel to and from SFO without needing any PlusPoints
Outbound fare bucket has changed to P (from PZ), return flight is still PZ.

Flightaware shows that 68% of flights at Newark are already canceled for Friday (as of 1:15pm Friday). That number is for all carriers, not just United, but of course United is easily the largest carrier at Newark.
LGA at 79%, JFK at 52% as of now (that JFK number seems overly optimistic IMO)
