How DL5551 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL5551 across the CLT and ATL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~52 min) but landed a little late (~19 min). Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL5551 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
