Yes, I wasn't trying to state that Southwest would not do this exact same thing in identical circumstances, but what I was implying about Southwest is they don't charge you $150.00 just for the right to "change" your original ticket like all the other airlines. This is the reason I didn't bother to call and try and reschedule the flight with Continental to start with, because this change fee was within a few dollars of the total ticket cost.
I guess my peeve overall is them just taking my money and me not getting one thing out of it all because I didnt want to pay their stupid change fee and wondering why just a ludicrous policy is even a policy to start with. Well, in the end I know why it is, because they make money off of it at the expense of the paying customer and we cant do one thing about it
