How AA2840 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA2840 across the ORD and PHL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~98 min) but landed heavily delayed (~70 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA2840 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
