US 740 Philadelphia - Madrid
the second flight is the continous flight of the first one. If everything goes well both aircrafts would be in the air at the same time. But what happens if the first one is delayed with 3 hours or more? It is possible in the USA to have two aircrafts enroute with the same callsign?
I couldn't find anything in any manuals
I would think that since many or even most of the people on the first flight are intending to continue on the second flight, that the second flight would not leave before the first flight arrived.
