Have you seen the information he had on that site? It certainly isn't info you can glean by taxiing by TOC on the way to the runway.
Not only did he have info on which plane is in which bay and FOR WHAT, but he also had projected dates when the work would be done. He knew which specific ship numbers were as far away as HKG for maintenance. No way a random enthusiast could come across that level of detail without someone on the inside.
I enjoyed reading this information, and I'm 100% for a free and fair press. I always prefer more information being released than less. But the fact is much of this information (especially the MD90 information) is proprietary and confidential. You can't fault DL for clamping down.
I'm just surprised it took them this long.
