How WN1273 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN1273 across the CMH and MDW boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left a little late (~11 min) but landed about 5 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN1273 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
