How AA5479 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA5479 across the DSM and PHL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~28 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA5479 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
