How CX81 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for CX81 across the ORD and ANC boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~398 min) but landed heavily delayed (~112 min). Not enough to call it.
