How UA5251 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA5251 across the PVD and ORD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~9 min) but landed about 33 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA5251 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
