One of the reason I paid for EF again was to make sure I had available data for all flights in case of IRROPs and also for SDC. It isn't doing me much good if I have a severely delayed or cancelled flight and available flights aren't showing up or if I want to SDC and it's showing my purchased fare class at 9 when that isn't the case.
It's important to remember that fare bucket availability doesn't necessarily mean there is a corresponding published fare for that routing.
Around Labor Day, Delta may not be publishing fares in your market in the lower fare buckets which is why Delta.com won't return a fare. But the buckets are still available for other markets, etc.
