Yes, the're's a pattern.
The pattern is that they'll release new seats near the end of EVEN-NUMBERED months. Last week of October, December, February.
And fares are loaded for the next 5 and a half month or so.

For Southwest booking window schedule extension it appears that the number of days remaining until the end of the booking window is the best predictor when the next jump is due. For the last 7 periods the minimum has been 100 days (10/26/05 to 02/03/06), and the maximum is 110 days (09/20/06 to 01/09/07). The adjustment was always made on a weekday, so my guess for the next adjustment is November 20-29.

The new "Ding" service is selective - highlighting cheap fares for specific flights in the relatively immediate future. I was checking Southwest.com daily for internet specials to Vegas in January, and found new cheap rates on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but never did get any notice of these fares through "Ding."
