If it helps, CJ is sensitive to the problems which can caused by misconnections if there are no further onward flights that day.

A few weeks ago, I flew LCY-EDI on the last flight of the day on a Saturday morning. About half a dozen pax were booked ZRH-LCY-EDI, and their ZRH-LCY was late in. So we waited for them.

It was particularly notable that morning because the ZRH-LCY and LCY-EDI flights were being operated by the same aircraft, so these pax happened to be flying on the same aircraft on both sectors. They did, of course, have to do the entire circuit at LCY, bang on MCT. But the crew's decision-making included the fact that if the pax had misconnected at LCY, there were no other LCY-EDI flights that day and there would then be a considerable delay to their journey.
