How DL578 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL578 across the DTW and CUN boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left a little late (~18 min) but landed about 21 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL578 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
