This endpoint has another great design choice: the departure and arrival data is stored in two arrays with fields with a description of either "Scheduled departure", "Actual Departure", "Scheduled Arrival", or "Actual Arrival". Note the capitalization difference between "departure" and "arrival".

There is a reason why some coding standard prescribe that business terms MUST NOT be translated to English.
