Agree! The published flight time was 1 hour 26 min, but there is a lot of padding in there. I don't think we were in the air more than 45 minutes. Last week, I flew BOS-LGA on the US Airways shuttle, and we were stalled on the tarmac for 40 minutes, then in the air for 37 minutes, and managed to land on time!
