How AA5237 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA5237 across the BUF and DCA boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~221 min) but landed heavily delayed (~186 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA5237 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
