How WN2398 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN2398 across the MDW and PWM boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: landed -3 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN2398 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
