Is YX208 a High-Speed?

If you're unfamiliar with the term "High Speed," it's also known as an "Illegal."

What I'm trying to determine is whether the last flight of the day from MKE->BOS is also the first flight back in the morning, using the same crew.

This would seem to provide the crew with much less than the required amount of rest, but the way it's made "legal" is by having the crew for the inbound-flight-the-night-before come on "fresh" and end their shift on the outbound-flight-the-morning-after.

And why do I want to know this, you ask?

I've got to get up a 2AM tomorrow to take a bus from PWM to BOS. I'd like to have reasonable confidence that there's a plane and crew ready to fly me to MKE when I get there, and I figure that looking at YX208's status the night before might be a good indicator. And if it's not YX208, what inbound to BOS in the evening becomes YX214 in the morning?

Thanks!
