How WN4901 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN4901 across the BWI and MCI boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~21 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN4901 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
