It's about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on the driver and traffic. They used to drive us back and forth quite a few times. It's really not that bad. I used to do those Greenville runs a lot when we were sending a DC-9 a week thru there. Of course the only time we would get a ride down or back was when the Saab was delayed significantly or it had cancelled all together....which, come to think of it, was pretty often. The guy in G-Ville that runs the limo company will invite you out on his boat and to his house for beers. He took us (Captain and I) to the Greenville Yacht Club one night for their staek Buffet. He introduced us to everybody in town as his Delta Pilot friends. It was hillarious. The food was not quite as funny!
