This is true. Having a fairly frequent flight schedule between MEM and ATL it is still dicey around 6pm as the last flight leaves at 7. Of course I have the holy grail of commuting...The purple army can get me there in the middle of the night or I can make the 6 hour drive. Really wouldn't want to do that though.
I bet we never see a 14 hour call out though as they seem to not like the 12 hour one we have now.
