Award Availability for extended schedule
So, the schedules have finally been extended through January.
I'm booking most of my tickets for that time frame now and just noticed that there are NO flights with award seats available on Weds. 11/21 and Sun. 11/25. Granted it is Thanksgiving weekend, but TrueBlue promises not to have blackout dates. I'm flexible and can fly Mon. morning but that's not the point.
This was for FLL-JFK and I didn't check any other routes, but please post if you see similar trends with any dates/routes.

update...
PBI has some availability on Suin. 11/25 but not appealing times for me.
What is going on here!?!?!? Hopefully it's just a glitch

No blackout dates only means that somewhere in the system, there will be an award seat available. It doesn't really guarantee a specific route will have availability.
I agree - it's quite the cop out, but if they think they can sell all of those seats at full price, why should they made awards available?
