You're saying that the tail assigned to a departure at 1127 on Saturday always (normal ops) RONs at JAX from 2057 the previous evening? Kind of surprising since there aren't too many Saturday morning no-ops out there. And a morning departure from DFW could arrive JAX in plenty of time to turn for an 1127 outbound.

At least according to the AA app, that's the case. I haven't dug around FR24 or anything to investigate further though.

EDIT: After doing some digging on FR24, it appears AA1061 usually runs DFW-JAX-DFW, but next Saturday is only doing JAX-DFW. The first DFW-JAX of the morning isn't until 10:45AM. I checked flights from other hubs too and the only other 738 getting into JAX that morning in time to make that flight is AA1919 CLT-JAX, but that plane is going to turn around and go right back to CLT also as AA1919. This is definitely an RON.
