no schedule changes this weekend?
I have already purchased five international trips for this year and I thought every weekend there were at least minor changes to schedules and/or equipment. However, I do not see such at this point.
Are the changes coming later or are we just in the 'eye of the storm'? BTW, of late SMS has worked hard to move schedule changes to my advantage in most cases. One flight is an I fare and the others are M fares using PMU/SWUs.

Usually schedule changes are posted the first Sunday of the month (although this month I had a change on one itinerary each of the first two Sundays).
It can't hurt to check once a week. I'm actually hoping for a change in one itinerary that has a slightly tight connection time.

I have a bunch of trips booked thru late September, and, I had schedule changes last Sunday and the Sunday before on EVERY itin!! I checked last night and found 3 itins changed slightly. NRT/BKK/NRT was downgraded from an A333 to an A332 and PIT/CDG/PIT times changing by a half hour. That's about it, but these changes were in last night - and they weren't there on Friday night!

Per a poster on A.net (who tracks all the airline schedule changes out there on a weekly basis), it looks like Delta didn't do any updates this past week. A bit surprising as normally Delta has the most changes on a weekly basis...

No, I've been 4/4 on the past 4 Saturdays for changes and had one yesterday (minor 3 min change, same flight number, equipment), so they continue with the Sat changes.

Lots of changes for me now. 2 out of 4 segments on the outbound (different flight number + different equipment + slight time change), and 1 out of 3 on the return (different flight number, >30 minutes change, same equipment). The worse one is a downgrade from CRJ900 to CRJ700 in one segment, which for me means downgrade from first to coach in one segment 
Unfortunately all CRJ900s were changed to CRJ700 on this segment, so no option for changing to a different time.
