How AA278 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA278 across the PHL and EDI boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: landed -25 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA278 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
