Depends on the base. If you're out of DTW, there are more shorter legs. I could see something like a MBS or LAN out and back being JUST under the 3 hour limit. MEM....well, likely it's gonna be over 3 hours, unless it's something like FSM. Most of our shorter out and backs like JAN and HSV have gone to either ASA or Comair. Out of ATL, I don't think we have a lot blocked to the point that they could get it under 3 hours. JFK, pretty sure you'll see nothing but JMs because of the inflated block times due to taxi lengths. Not sure about MSP. Haven't been up there in a while.
