How DL5836 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL5836 across the ORF and BOS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~45 min) but landed noticeably late (~22 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL5836 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
