How UA1979 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA1979 across the TPA and SAN boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 23 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA1979 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
