How BA7079 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for BA7079 across the BCN and MAD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 11 min early. Not enough to call it.
