How DL5869 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL5869 across the DTW and PIT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left a little late (~12 min) but landed about 17 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL5869 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
