Its being worked on still. If you see a flight not in our database, send me a link and I'll see about adding it. I have a list I need to add.

Is it possible to write something to scrape the Delta timetable PDFs to get schedule data? I'm starting to see more and more wrong flight numbers/equipment and missing routes.

Andrew, DVH8925 is KSEA-PAJN. There is a real world flight current again. DL2259 KSEA-PAJN http://www.delta.com/flightinfo/viewFlightStatusByOrigin http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL2259/history/20160326/0100Z/KSEA/PAJN

Thanks for your hard work!

Dean this is discussed at every senior staff meeting. If we did a quick solving of the issue it would increase our budget 10 times and we wouldn't be able to be "free". We're working on some reasonable alternatives but the work is slow. Everything has to be done manually for now. keep in mind you don't need to fly the specific aircraft listed in the schedule.

Ron: Thanks for the info. i'll try to get it in the database. If you see more, open a help desk issue. If anyone sees flight missing from our schedule, please open a help desk issue and it'll give me a working list to go from. Reference real world sources like Ron did. Thanks.

Delta puts out a downloadable database of their routes meant as an offline timetable, could you use that?

If you give me the schema for the route DB I would be more than happy to format the data for you.
