Yes i know you mentioned that. But i think GDS does have stale info for the Summer 2011 schedule and this is evident in many destinations. For example:

EK733/734 DXB-KRT-DXB still shows A345 vs. recent change to A332
EK793/794 DXB-LAD-DXB shows 2 separate flight numbers - the correct EK793/794 but also the previous flight no. of EK791/792.
EK514/515 DXB-DEL-DXB still shows A332 vs. recent change to A345
EK3705/3706 DXB-MRU-DXB still shows as B77W vs. recent change to A332

Also i know for a fact that frequency increases on routes have not been loaded into any system yet (not even internal). As i mentioned earlier, the 2011/12 operating plan is still being worked on and far from complete. Aircraft delivery dates are not finalised and a number of important bilateral discussion outcomes are pending (esp. India) so there will be considerable changes.

It won't be until late December where GDS will more accurately reflect the Summer 2011 schedule.
