How AA4460 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA4460 across the ORD and DSM boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left about 6 min early but landed about 16 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA4460 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
