How AA5561 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA5561 across the CHS and CLT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 23 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA5561 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
