How WN249 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN249 across the PHX and SMF boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left noticeably late (~21 min) but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN249 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
