They just keep adjusting the schedule out, hoping that they can hit the dates. If they can't then they adjust again, but it shouldn't be so surprising that they are keeping the planes in the system/schedule at some point. They didn't pull the DEN-NRT flight when the initial grounding happened; it took a few weeks for that. And the first time they changed the schedule it was to May 12th. Now it is June 10th. Maybe that will stick and maybe it won't. They certainly won't fly it before the FAA says they can.
