Delta Flights on ACARS and HFDL

[beischel]

Hey folks,

Been monitoring ACARS and HFDL for sometime...like years, and for some reason I can never find any Delta flights (other than those that still have a Northwest designation) on ACARS and HFDL.

I've tried every ACARS and the New York HFDL frequencies that I can find and still nothing.

Does anyone know if they use "private" as in Delta only frequencies on ACARS and HFDL?

Actually while I have seen American Flights, I don't see many of those either.

Do they use another method of tracking maybe?

Much appreciated if anyone can shed some light on the "missing" airlines.

Thanks!

SWA uses ACARS. That's who the WN#### flights are.
