Schedule revised through Oct?
I had my reservations through Sept changed a bit with scheduled revisions. My Oct res remains the same and I want to make sure whether they've gotten to Oct updates yet or still forthcoming? Any experience? Thanks

Not other than trial and error trying to figure out where flight schedules get massively changed. For example, one of my main routes (DCA-STL) has 1x/day direct flights on and before Sept 6 and 4x/day after that. Prior to the schedule modifications it was 4x/day throughout.

Just because August has been revised already, I wouldn't assume it's firm, I thought the recent schedule change 'finalized' through early July only. Even if flights in later July and August were changed, there will likely be changes to some flights in those months.

They did large-scale schedule changes through September 6th. While it may not be completely "firm" through then, it is certainly far more firm that it was previously to the large-scale changes that have already been loaded. The STL-DCA route mentioned above which went from 4x daily non-stops for the summer to 1x daily through the Sep 6th is one of many examples. It's pretty safe to say there won't be such extreme changes for flights through Sep 6th. For flights for Sep 7th and beyond (where STL-DCA is still loaded at 4x daily), you can expect there will be significant changes to come. MCI-DCA is a route closer to home for you. It was loaded at 2x daily non-stop for summer, but the restart has now been pushed back to Sep 7th with no non-stops for the summer.
