It goes for most airlines, that load factors are a lot higher in the summer than in the winter. Even with higher prices in the summer, the planes are still a lot more full in the summer.
Easyjet makes money during the summer and loses money in the winter. The financial reports and forecasts are readily available on easy's website.
The winter schedule is not for sale yet and will not be for sale anytime soon. If they released the winter flights now, then it would be difficult to change schedules, frequencies and times if people had already bought tickets.
Commercial considerations as those you asked about are not secret. We, the staff, will not be told anything sensitive at all regarding the commercial side of the operation, as easyJet is a PLC. Only the managers know these things. A good example is GB Airways. I doubt many outside the board rooms, if any, had any idea that the company was buying GB until it actually happened
