Flying to DC on a Friday morning is definitely one of the easier times, since most people who would be elites are leaving. DCA-ATL and vice-versa is either really easy, or 70 people for an MD90. I've cleared at the PM window before, and also been 15/30, or worse. It's also unpredictable. I missed ATL-DCA on New Year's Day last year, but cleared in advance for a Sunday evening flight. Go figure.
