Exactly. You'll notice plenty of RONs (Remain Over Night) turns for the 752's at MCO as well. Gives them a chance to do maintenance work during some light downtime.
My $0.02: This worked really well when the 752's were newer. They're getting older, and maybe it's just me, but I'm finding more and more MX issues with them. Thankfully, with the pending interior refresh, I'm expecting a LOT of maintenance to be completed on them, to give us some more reliability during the push towards retirement. Gotta get several more years out of them ... Will be a *very* sad day once these workhorses leave the fleet. They've changed the industry in many ways, and left it all on the table. Best narrow body ever built, IMO.
