I prefer to fly using the rw flight numbers, which brings up my question.

1 - How often are the DVA flights updated?

2 - If there is a discrepancy between the real world flight number and the DVA flight number, which one should I use for ACARS?

Thanks everyone!

1. Not sure.

2. I don't believe the flight number makes a difference. As long as the flight route (origin & destination) are valid.

From what Luke has said in the past, pretty often. But it is hard to keep up with Delta. I have known them to change flight numbers and equipment 3 or 4 times in just one month. But for the most part, our schedule is pretty accurate.
