Does anyone know how often AirTran opens up its schedule? Right now it's open till January 06. Do they open a month at a time or greater?

I'm "patiently" waiting for April 06 :teeth: I'm limited out of Philly, and I want to avoid USAir if I can due to the merger (afraid of schedule changes this far out) and their awful baggage handling. (Lost one of our bags on way to MCO this past March, and then had to wait over 2 hours for luggage back in PHL)
 
Airtran opens up their schedule usually 6 to 9 months in advance and usually a few weeks at a time....but they still have changes in their schedule. Last year we flew Airtran, we really like the service, but they did eliminate our flight coming home and booked us on a flight leaving WDW more than 2 hours than the one we originally booked.
I think that most airlines have schedule changes when you book months in advance.
 
If I were you I'd avoid Air Tran at all costs. They stranded us in Atlanta on our trip home end of April. There was bad weather and flight was late arriving in Tampa. They repeatedly said they would hold the connection for us which they didn't. It was now Saturday night. The next flight they could put us on was Tuesday evening! We ended up taking a flight to Baltimore Sunday morning and driving the rest of the way to NJ.
 
We had problems out of Philly with airtran on 4/30. They denied us boarding, without first asking if anyone was willing to give up their seats for our oversold flight. Our original flight was a direct flight from Philly to Orlando. The new flight transfered in Atlanta. With delays and the rerouting, it took us 10 hours to get to Orlando.
