Don't get why you think I should I research and post a screen shot MDW-CUN? I'm not making such a trip.
The city pairs I was seeking were not loaded by Sat. Feb. 2 noon. I wasn't hoping to test the booking system randomly until I got a hit; I wanted to book actual travel for an Aug. 15 departure. I hear what you're saying: a schedule extension announced for Jan. isn't an AirTran fail if it hasn't happened by noon on Feb. 2 (AKA January 33, 2013). It's that we were not sufficiently patient = customer failure. Thanks!

For all who have been waiting, it looks like many fare buckets have now been loaded. Book away!
Process just beginning. Some nonstops still have only Y loaded in Coach for same route, same day of travel, as others that have all fare buckets loaded.
Keep checking back for this work in progress.

I see they are loaded now but only until Sept 27. Any idea why only extended a month?

What I can tell you that with any of these schedule extensions there is no metric that can gauge at what exact hour you will see the changes (there are however historical estimates). I cant get into the specifics of that statement though so you will have to take my word for it
Im not exactly why someone put down January for the schedule extension on the front page. Unfortunately I dont control the world, but if I did I would fix that
Let me add that timelines sometimes change as well for unforeseen events.

Im saying if you nitpick things that are estimates to the hour sometimes you may be disappointed. Of course I am not talking here about on time performance or bag loss ratios ^

Why only 6 weeks more? They usually will extend more then 6 weeks at a time.
Are you inquiring about why it is that specific date or why it is "only" 6 weeks more?
