It is fairly straightforward when it comes to BHX (can't say I have checked other airports), the flights on sale are the ones their competitors have had on sale for ages and they seriously run the risk of losing bookings as these can be traditional earlier bookers in most cases.
BHX to has Alicante (LS & U2), BCN (LS, U2 & VY), FUE (LS, U2 & TOM), LPA (LS, U2 & TOM, ACE (LS, U2 & TOM), TFS (LS, U2 TOM) are all released but the ones with no or little competition PMI, RMU, FAO are not released, the same for the cities bar Beauvais which of course competes heavily with U2 and AF.
I was surprised at Verona, which is released but this of course counts as ski (TOM is the only competitor) and all the other ski routes are on sale as already, as they tend to also be early bookers. Another route that I would doubt gets many early bookers which is on sale is Dublin but of course that is another highly competitive route.
