How WN983 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN983 across the ABQ and AUS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left noticeably late (~22 min) but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN983 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
