A few days ago I flew the 767 checkride, and while I'm waiting for word on whether I've passed or not I was looking at some flights I could make on the schedule once I'm moved into the program. One flight that caught my eye was DVA138 from Seattle (KSEA/SEA)to Osaka (RJBB/KIX). It's specified for the 767-300, which is perfect for me because I have the LDS version of this airframe. The trouble is, there's no return flight from Osaka. After closer investigation it appears that there are no flights whatsoever on the schedule departing Osaka in the 767! So what happens to all the 767's that fly to Osaka? Or am I missing something?

They don't fly back. They take them apart and ship them back to Seattle for reassembly and then fly them out to Osaka again... Ok, not really. The flights out of Osaka probably occur on different days of the week. If you try checking back tomorrow or on the weekend, they should be there.

Okay I'll do that. I thought that those flights would show up in the schedule, but they're missing from there as well. http://www.deltava.org/browse.do?airportD=RJBB

Nothing new on Saturday or today. Should I file an issue?
