53. But I already did
... in post #12. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics database is NOT a flight scheduling system. It's an on-time performance tracking system, and it depends on the airlines themselves to report their flight data. United apparently reported departure times for their hijacked flights and reported them as "diverted" with no arrival time. American apparently didn't report anything for their hijacked flights -- because they were hijacked! -- so there was nothing in the database. Wow, what a mystery! Technically, American probably should have reported the flights as "diverted" as United did, but if they didn't report anything, then it wouldn't be in the BTS database. End of story. American, however, did submit a "canceled" status for subsequent days.

So even though the airlines actually use systems like Sabre (which was originally developed for American) for scheduling flights, not the freakin' BTS on-time performance database, no-planers assert the absurdity that even though AA11 and AA77 were in the database every day before and after 9/11, for some strange reason they weren't "scheduled" for 9/11 -- even though they were vital to the government murder plot -- for no apparent reason except to leave an incriminating clue for super-sleuth Gerald Holmgren.

So, go find out what schedule was in Sabre for 9/11, and come back when you actually have something.

But I'll bet you won't do that; you won't even try. This is why it's a complete waste of time to "debate" no-planers. They are not rational people, and they seize on total garbage as "evidence" to try to justify delusions that are certainly not based on evidence, and they refuse to let it go.
