Final Installment of the Irregularities Series
August 05 has been the final episode of the irregularities thread. Keeping this thread up to date has at times been quite a headache, not only because of the sheer amount it time it has taken, but also because of all kinds of outside interferences. Still, I believe it was an exercise worth engaging in.
Thanks for reading.

Hi HB-IWC,
I, for one, would like to thank you for your diligent work on gathering this information. I know that there is a large group of FT-ers who really appreciated the work you did, and the information you provided through this thread.
It will be missed, but, once again, thank you!
Cheers,
GenevaFlyer

I was thinking a couple of days ago 'How long will he go on'. I also thougt that if you'd like to stop, the 100k views for this thread would be a good moment 
Don't know it if is a coincedence. Thank you millions for all the effort you put in it, and hopefully you can keep providing us with the occasional schedule information, as that it very valuable too.

HB-IWC, thank you for this topic!
It was very useful for everyone on FT.
Hopefully you will still update this topic, whenever there are a lot or long(1h30) delays on the long haul flights.

This topic has helped me very much and it has been a pleasure reading it, on almost daily basis. It still amazes me how you've been able to compose this list every single day.
So, I would really like to thank you for your fantastic performance, and I, for one still hope that you'll continue with your interesting postings on other topics.

Thank you very much for all the effort. The only ones who will be pleased are the KLM apologists.

The end of a mini-era.
Your thread was daily reading I looked for when I checked my email subscriptions.
More than educational, it gave some kind of barometer on circumstances globally.
Thanks for all your efforts.
And you did it for free.

Thanks again for updating this thread for such a long time. An awesome eye opener and much more specific than the statistics from the association of European airlines.

Thank you, HB-IWC ^
I appreciate the effort you put into keeping the thread up to date on a daily basis. I must admit I didn't follow it daily but I knew it would be there when I needed it. Sadly, no longer.

Thanks for all your efforts!! ^
Just wondering though, what kind of outside interferences?
Is KL intimidating you to stop with it?
If so, that would be quite shocking.

A big thanks to the OP for providing the timely and detailed information about KL's ops. Since he's finished posting, I'm going to close this thread.
