Is CO Making Less Schedule Changes of Late?
Not that I am complaining mind you, but I have not had a schedule change in the last 19 flights. It was January the last time one occurred. Did I just happen to pick flights that CO didn't tinker with or is this a sign they are making less schedule changes of late?

It's funny you mentioned it...I just had 3 changes pop up today. I also have 2 reservations I can't access. I'm gonna wait til the next co.com update this week to see if they are too.

In my 10 years with CO I've never had a schedule change until this year. And I've had 3 so far in the last month.

Schedule Change returning from the IAH-DO
My luck has run out....
I read RNEs post about the Cigarman DO flight change and thought to myself I didn't take the 6:50 AM return as that is too early...but now 7:50 AM is sounding good! 10 minutes later I am at co.com looking at my reservations, the Sunday 10:25AM flight is now leaving at 10:10 AM.
No email from co? Maybe that option is only for paying customers, I used miles for the trip.

while i am partial to continental (CO), i really fly all of the airlines. i lived in minneapolis for a year and flew northwest (NW). i fly delta (DL). i am a million miler on american (AA) so i fly them from time to time (especially to miami).
over the years, CO has had far fewer schedule changes for me than the other airlines. DL has had the highest incidents of schedule changes. i realize i am a sample set of one.

About 10 days ago, CO change my Sept. 30 flight from 6:50 a.m. to 7:50 a.m. Now they just changed it back to 6:50 a.m. Why change a flight 3-months out and then change it back relatively immediately? Stupid of me, I'm sure, but I'm wondering what's up with that.
