How WN1559 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN1559 across the MDW and MCI boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~74 min) but landed noticeably late (~32 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN1559 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
