Tonight I'm flying ACARS Flight 995,432 and I was thinking we are less than 5000 sessions from 1 million. I know many flights are started and aborted, but hopefully someone will fly the route, complete the flight, and report back with a link to the flight report.

Perhaps we'll feature it in Delta FLY!

Just hope that whoever is flying it files the report. Featuring it in Delta FLY! sounds like an excellent idea, showing the growth of DVA ACARS. Good luck to everyone!

Doing the math, we average about 167.4 flights a day according to the statistics page...and we have 4,568 flights left to the million mark...so we should be hitting it in just about 27 days ish...so like mid June??

I predict a flurry of 50NM flights to try and be #1,000,000. Whatever Delta's shortest route is is going to be heavily used at that time. wink

One comment. People will not fly back and forth between 2 Michigan towns unless they really want the 1,000,000th ACARS flight. drool

People will log in and wonder why there's more planes at a regional airport than there is gates. The queue to take-off is ten planes-deep... "...AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT T7 DOING HERE?!!" eek

We've already passed it. Lowest one I can find on the ACARS map is 1,000,021 and lowest in the queue is 70 something.
EDIT: I found lower: http://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0xfa0fc
