There are generally NO incentives for airlines to file cheap fares 10 months ahead. Anyone needing to buy tickets far out usually has inflexible schedule...airlines know this, so why add cheap fare filings when they can sell at higher fares now.

I mean if you are willing to loan airlines $ with no interest...
