Yes, they track the actual taxi-out time, taxi-in time and time aloft for every departure throughout the day everyday. This is done by departure time (i.e. due to ground congestion, departures at 8:00am may have much longer taxi-out times than those at 9:00pm).

This data is then used to build seasonal schedules in every market based on the averages for the previous years.
