Yes I have status on USAir and can always make last minute changes without this hassle. Only reason I flew Southwest for these trips was because I could fly direct to San Antonio. But just booked for week after next and going back to USAir- same price- not direct- but won't be hassled if I need to make a change last minute. So I will give up on flying direct. I have status on Southwest as well- not sure what it gets you other than not having to pay extra fee for early boarding and some drink coupons.
