How UA1215 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA1215 across the ORD and DTW boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~146 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA1215 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
