Thanks, this is super helpful. Do you happen to know how often that pull schedule runs?

I’m going on a trip with two colleagues, and there were only center seats available. I encouraged them both to keep checking and I set an Expert Flyer alert for myself.

After the weekend, my boss said, “thanks for that advice, I looked twice over the weekend and snagged a window on Saturday.” Then my other colleague reported he moved to a window seat on Sunday.

I didn’t get any alerts, so I’d imagine they both lucked out. I double checked with a test alert on another flight and it seems to be working. Still awaiting my alert and refreshing AA.com a few times a day just in case, for myself.
