Just an afterthought since I posted 2 weeks ago on this blog. I booked on American 10 days ago because the fare was right and the flight time was right and I didn't want to risk waiting on the off chance of saving a few bucks. For fun, I checked SWA on the beloved 8th of February only to find their fares were HIGHER than AA. Glad I didn't wait ! Thanks again for the blog, other companies which deal directly with consumers should follow suit.

Bill,
I completely understand your point of not putting too much inventory in the pipeline as every time a change is made, its like throwing cash out of the window, from 37,000 feet. I think the 120/180 rule makes total sense. But what stumps me is why you would ever let it slip below 120 days. As of today, you're at 103 days and if it gets to 90 days, I'm off to another airline. Customers need to plan more than 3 months in advance. If you have any say-so in the matter, you should be pounding your fist on the right person's desk to NEVER drop below 120 days. Thanks for commenting on the blog, information and communication is never a bad thing.
