How WN1201 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN1201 across the ATL and DCA boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~19 min) but landed about 10 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN1201 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
