Every one of the 289 flights under F9 4771 in the data flew ATL to CVG. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 289 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
