How WN2982 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN2982 across the MDW and SAT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left right on schedule but landed about 19 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN2982 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
