How WN5003 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN5003 across the DEN and MSY boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~101 min) but landed heavily delayed (~89 min). Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN5003 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
