How B6988 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for B6988 across the LAX and BOS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~67 min) but landed noticeably late (~41 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how B6988 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
