Real world JFK-GEO: leave JFK at 0100 in a non-GPS 757-200. Get to GEO around sunrise in the early morning fog. The only approach available is a tear-drop VOR with no DME because the map is too far off to use RNAV. Divert to TTPP because you can't see the runway. Refuel and return when the fog has burned off. Nice duty day.
Fortunately, all the airplanes are GPS equipped now. (Well, almost..)
Thanks for digging these up, Andrew.

Why did Delta cancel ATL-ZRH?

Good question, Joe. After 26 years with the company, I have learned not to question the Network people too closely. They are the owners of the big picture. Many times we pilots have asked why a seemingly great schedule is cancelled or altered. The answers usually are some variation of: 1) the margin and/or load has dropped to a certain point. 2) the airplanes are needed in higher marging markets 3) the JV/cosdeshare partner is picking up the flying. Sometimes it doesn't make sense but, hey, I just drive the bus. smile

Unfortunately Joe, the web site doesn't every say why unless its due to seasonal changes.

Thanks for KATL-KONT and any other flights into/out of KONT you add in the future.

KONT is my 'chosen' home airport here and on VATSIM but I rarely use it because of the lack of flights on the schedule.
We'll never see any of the major producers of payware airports do KONT, I did find some freeware that did a descent job of modeling it in its current configuration.
The terminals, runways, & taxiways are fairly accurate and they included the UPS ramp at the SE corner of the airport.

See Also NW3306 Legs 1 and 2. Just found in my 2001 NW timetable and added them.

The other 2001 NW flights to KONT we already have in our schedule elsewhere.
