How WN42 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN42 across the HOU and LBB boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 20 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN42 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
