Is being a jerk something you take pride in? I wasn't saying whether they had cancelled or not - I just mentioned that it was still bookable internally. No more, no less.

Well this was weird.
Checked something on EF and saw the following:
I've never seen AS list all fare buckets limiting at 4.
Checked another city pair and it was 7 (like usual).
Refreshed my results and showed 7 for the CVG results.
The return was even more strange:
Guessing I found a strange easter egg.

FWIW, SEA/CVG still shows as bookable starting Aug. 18, but since beckoa posted screenshots on Mar 23, prices have dropped a fair bit: SEA>CVG from $329 Main/$479 FC then to $234 Main/$389 FC tonight. And CVG>SEA, Main is $164.
I'm almost but not quite back to what I said on March 7th:

What happens if a new routing doesn't happen after all? Does AS just give you back your money/points and say See Ya or do they help rebook you on someone else?
I was able to cancel a DL flight to CVG and book on AS (for a lot less) but now I'm nervous that wasn't the best idea.

Well that didn't take long...5 days after booking AS has cancelled our September flights - looks like they won't be starting the CVG service after all.
Back to the drawing board.

Bummer....I had actually considered booking one of those inaugural flights since it was in August. I haven't checked my upcoming flights (booked through November)....was there a big schedule change last night?

I got an e-mail that manual assistance was needed, and when I checked to see what was going on all the AS flights were gone, just combos with AA (like in the past - and of course for my dates/YMMV). So I just cancelled the whole thing and I'm now in limbo deciding what to do - we may or may not even want to rebook. Wish I had a crystal ball as to where the world will be in September.

It makes me sad to see all of our hard work in growing the airline being wasted and plans for expansion being postponed but I feel that it will be just a matter of time, and maybe not as long as some are predicting, before Alaska starts growing again. CVG will see AS planes one day.
