Slow as much as practical as Atlanta is switching airport configuration. I could go on and on. The real issue is if you over block that first leg by the small buffer, your done!
Rumor has it that the Jan rotations were a mistake and the computer was not programmed with the 30 minute buffer SD stated they would use. I guess we will know for sure when the FEB rotations are posted. Strangly however some JFK trips under 9 hours are still double crewed.
