Some airlines use the same flight ID for more than one route. United Airlines domestic flights are good example using the same flight ID for 2 or 3 different routes per week, nightmare stuff. Some cargo flights operate with the same flight number on diferent routing dependent on the day of the week
The majority of the routes on the server have been provided by a automatic routine on the server and quite often its has been wrong, i.e getting the org/dest the wrong way round, showing only partial routes when there is a via in the routing and just plain wromg etc, hence the reason I took it on myself to update the route data.

Another example of how much of a quagmire this is, especially now with the ACSI data on RB24. Southwest Airlines, whose crews do not enter the ICAO codes on the FMS, have many multi-multi sector routes that cross the continent in short hops every day. These are now showing on the RB24 ACSI with the Southwest ICAO.
Here is an example SWA945 which runs the following sectors every day over the course of around 13 hours:
KPIT-KBWI-KBUF-KMDW-KSTL-KDEN-KSAN-KSJC
Pittsburgh-Baltimore-Buffalo-Chicago-St Louis-Denver-San Diego-San Jose

SWA657 - Port Columbus to San Diego with 6 intermediate stops
KCMH-KBWI-KRDU-KBNA-KHOU-KELP-KPHX-KSAN
