How DL2578 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL2578 across the DTW and AUS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~29 min) but landed about 14 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL2578 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
