As of about 10:30 AM Central Time, Southwest's schedule is now open through March 9, 2007. This extension precisely fits the pattern of recent years and predictions both here and in our Official Schedule Extension Prediction Thread:
http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=527240. Ding announced this schedule extension as usual.
The next extension has historically occurred from October 17 to 27, so I expect the extension on
Thursday October 20, with travel through approximately April 1.
