How WN5006 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN5006 across the OAK and LGB boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~12 min) but landed about 7 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN5006 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
