Southwest Schedules

[Third times a charm]

Does anyone know how and when Southwest releases their next schedule? I have been checking and checking and they are still only through October bookings? Do they release monthly or quarterly ???

I call SW last night and asked the same. They have no idea either.

I think it was either July or August last year when they released dates beyond December.. I'm watching for late Nov/early Dec. myself..

I checked with SW this morning and was told 12/11/04 thru 1/14/05 schedules were released last year on 7/29. Now that may have had something to do with all the new service last year, so I'm still going to be checking several times a week for the next few weeks just to be safe.
