Seat Map Wide Open - Only M fares + Available?
I apologize if this has been covered before but I was hoping someone might be able to answer this for me. I'm checking on flights in July and August departing at a specific time and the only fares that are coming up on Delta are M and higher. I checked on Expertflyer and it shows that the other fare buckets have 0 availabilty even though the plane is empty.

I've looked at several dates and every one for the specific time I'm looking at is the same. Is there a specific time when Delta loads the other fare buckets? Note: If I look at other departure times there are plenty of lower class fares available. When I check the seat map on Delta for the flight I'm looking at, it doesn't look like any seats are sold yet.
Just curious if there was a specific reason as to why one specific time of day wouldn't have any lower fares than M. BTW - The flight I'm looking at is DTW - SLC leaving at 8:30 am and it doesn't appear to matter what day I depart on in July or August.
Thanks in advance!
