How DL5704 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for DL5704 across the BOS and DCA boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left about 5 min early but landed about 18 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how DL5704 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
