How WN2540 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN2540 across the BNA and DCA boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left a little late (~16 min) but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN2540 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
