How UA4838 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA4838 across the ICT and IAH boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~12 min) but landed about 25 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA4838 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
