I have a question regarding how flight routes are formed. My home airport is Will Rogers World(KOKC) airport. There isn't any flights going to or from there with the MD-88 at all. I've noticed all the times I've searched it is vast majority of the time the CRJ-200 or one of the Boeing models, I can't remember which one.

How are the flight routes formed, compiled and whatnot? Is there a way to ask to see if OKC could be put on the list? smile

Johnathan, you can fly any route in the system with any aircraft you are rated in - for flight credit on ACARS...just because a flight is listed with the CRJ, does not mean you can only fly it with the CRJ. Heck, if you were rated in the concorde, and you could get it off the ground from KOKC you could fly it!

Hope that answers your question.

All DVA routes are pulled directly from DL/NW and codeshare flights. Whatever DL is flying on the route is what you will see in the database. Nothing that DVA can do about that.
