You surfaced about 6 months ago and have been in full AB since. Put down the phone and go for a walk with your kids

For what it’s worth I had to do this about 2 years ago when I was fighting about the contract. I’ll still always hate James Bond and 80 knots for the garbage they spewed.....I keed I Keed....
First, you're not clear. I'm saying if people want to change their S3 to S2 at 31 minutes prior to departure that is fine. I'm not sure where you came up with the rest of your manifesto but it's certainly nothing that I ever said or insinuated. Since you seem to know me so well, I was hoping maybe you could offer some unsolicited advice on my finances, religion, and politics as you seem to have such a firm grasp on my family life.

Finally, answer the question. Why is it OK for me to fly an OOBWS (or one of a myriad of examples) which benefits me at the expense of others but I can't change my S3 to S2 (at the expense of others) if it looks like I won't make a flight?

I never said it was ok bra.... triggered much? You talk a lot.
I don’t really care what people do to the point of getting emotional. But if you check in S3, then have people burn an S2 and then at 31 minutes change to an S2 and thus burn their S2 for nothin, you are a douche. If it’s so important...be a big boy and S2 at the start.
I feel like being a big boy might be hard for you since you stretched apc advice to your personal life(of which I care nothing about) but go ahead and keep thinking you’re the center of the universe. You certainly act like it with your constant apc posting.

I'm not quite sure I get what you're saying. If everyone checks in at S3 including myself and then others change to S2, why shouldn't I be able to too?

Way back in the dark ages what you initially selected for the day was what you got. That's the way it should be.

The solution here is to just wait airport list until 40 or so minutes prior to departure.

Keep in mind some airports like JFK enforce a 45 minutes rule. Also for everyone if you change your reservation inside the cutoff time be it 30 or 45 minutes you are supposed to go to the bottom of the list behind all non revs.

I thought that once you check in your priority level was locked in (S2 vs S3.)

You can cancel the listing, re-list, and re-check-in s2.


All’s fair in love and nonrev.
