We brief that. In case we're on fire.
Presumably that was some kind of milk run thing? You could ride a bike in less time than taking that flight. |
OK I'm a really old guy.....but back in the late 80's or early 90's Delta used to fly a scheduled MIA-FLL which I flew it several ties on a 727.

IAD -BWI-IAD 4x daily super dooper Jetstream 3200

SFO-STS. 51 nm distance.. My record was 13 minutes from start of takeoff roll to blocking in. Did this probably hundreds of times over the years.

WRI-JFK in a 747-400.

When I was a child my first flight on a 777 wasn’t even an hour long. It was GRU to GIG on American.
Because I guess American would fly a “tag” or Round robin route from MIA to those cities back in the day. |

MIA-FLL on 747 is fun.

Did Dtw Fnt as a standup with just under 8 hrs rest. If you could block early and get the rest period over 8 it became a 2 day trip paying 2 min days instead duty rig. Needless to say, we hurried.
I did nothing but standups for almost a decade. Would fly 300 block and credit 1000 ☺️ |
