How DL1389 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL1389 across the IAH and DTW boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left about 9 min early but landed about 20 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL1389 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
