Hi guys, I usually dont have enough time to do a 1,000+ mile flight, and I would always do a bunch of 465 mile trips in the 767-300. Now today when I want to fly atl-mco its gone! They were there before, here is some of my pireps of the flights that are gone:

http://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x5eb60 JAX-ATL
http://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x6032e ATL-TPA
http://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x6067b ATL-MCO

Did Delta change this or is this a bug, this stinks now!!! Back to the md-88 for me i guess.

Houston, the flight schedule updates itself daily. So if that particular flight doesn't show up today, then check tomorrow and it will probably be there...

Houston - the flights are updated daily - IAW the real schedules. If you want to fly a flight, save them from the FIND A FLIGHT section, then you can fly then you can fly it at your leisure.

And is it bad to go back to the MD-88?

So basically what may be on the schedule today, may very well not be there tomorrow.

Delta has put some 767s into service for transatlantics from DTW and MSP, that may be where a few have gone.

Remember you can fly the 767 regardless of what the schedule says for the type aircraft.

Rob im confused on what you mean, do you mean I can fly any leg I want even if it doesnt say 767 and I can record it?

Houston - you can fly any flight, with any aircraft you are rated in - so you can fly a 767 leg with the DC6 of you want...as long as you are rated, and the plane you want to ise can make the flight.

Exactly as Andrew stated, any aircraft on any route as long as you are rated and the aircraft can safely make the flight.

Didn't know that either. It's new for me, always searching for flights with the right aircraft eek

BTW can't you quote somebody??

No, Peter. Just a copy paste thing and I'll usually put the quotes (") around what I'm quoting.
