Hello! I'm going to try to explain this in as least confusing a way as possible.

We continue to work diligently on getting an updated schedule into our database and I've continued to fight the good fight of adding aircraft to the DVH schedule database as I see the real world Delta announce them. Unfortunately, this is not substitute for a regular quarterly or daily update that matches today's real world Delta schedule. We've reached out to some sources and are working on the logistics of how to get the data and the cost implications. We're a small fish to these providers so we're not high on their client list. But, we continue to push on.

What we have in place now is a snapshot of an earlier planned schedule Delta had anticipated for September 28, 2015. Its not perfect because it was a planned schedule for that date from the past. Have I lost you? The good thing is our schedule is now more recent than it used to be. Its better but not yet optimal. There may be some missing return flights in the DAL schedule. Feel free to request a charter if you fly a connected logbook and there doesn't seem to be a return flight since it actually occurs on another day of the week. This will flag it to me also so i can get the return flight into the DVH database.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or email me or create a help desk item. We do appreciate your patience with this process and I sincerely appreciate the info that many pilots have shared with me to get more historical flights into the database. I have a nice 1973 Pam Am schedule I'm going to dig into this week. We will continue to work on this issue. Thanks for your patience and support.

No need for that. You are the one doing all the work. You are the master Chef... All im doing is chopping some onions here and there...

PD: However, give me permission to add routes subject to your approval and I can cut this work in half for you wink
