How WN8500 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN8500 across the ATL and BHM boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: landed +33 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN8500 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
