How DL1189 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL1189 across the SFO and BOS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left about 6 min early but landed about 17 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL1189 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
