You're correct, December thru Jan. 4th was done awhile ago, and I've noticed minor tweaks too. Jan. 5th thru early Feb. hasn't dropped yet, but will within the next week or two.

Looks like they've published cuts through February 10, but after that have... added flights? SEA-MFR up to 6x daily starting Feb 11. That's more than there were pre-pandemic or on any schedule.

Looks like Bay Area / HNL through early February (at least) are toast. My late Jan / early Feb has a "schedule change" that I've not yet called in on, and I'm currently booked on SFO/HNL/SFO, no longer in the schedule. I can't view what AS has done with me. Given what must be a lot of "satisfied callers calling AS today" I'll wait another day or two for my "Due to flight schedule changes, manual assistance is required on this reservation."

No, the SEA-MFR flights were not "added" in Feb, they were never removed/altered from the existing pre-Covid schedule. This is just how it works in the post Covid era. Airlines cut their schedules roughly a month at a time about 4-6 weeks prior the start of the month. AA also loaded schedule updates for flights Jan 5th through Feb 10th this weekend with most flights post Feb 10th still being the pre-Covid schedule just like AS. DL did their updates last weekend, but instead of just going through Feb 10th, their updates extended through Mar 1st (Mar 2nd and beyond are pre-Covid -- as an example, there are 3x daily flights loaded on DTW-DCA through Mar 1st, and 7x daily starting on Mar 2nd). You can think of the schedules as a sliding window with everything beyond the window being largely placeholder pre-Covid schedules. The schedules to ultimately be loaded are largely dependent on demand and developments related to Covid.

BOI-PDX-OGG for January 10th changed. No email notification. Instead of an 0730 ish departure we have to leave at 0610 to preserve our FC seats. Later flts thru SEA don't have 2 FC seats available. This is tough for a night owl but not a deal breaker. Now we have to decide whether or not to even make the trip. Covid, covid, covid.

The 7am SFO-MCO flight, which operated daily, is gone, at least for all of January. It's been replaced with a Friday departure at 10:45am and a Saturday departure at 1:10pm. Have several itineraries on that route that will involve cancellations or reroutes via SEA or SAN. Going to sit on these and call later.
