Why the long flighttime ORD-JFK?
All,

I have my first flight on JetBlue this Thursday ORD-JFK. I just checked my itinerary. The flight leaves ORD at 6AM but isn't scheduled to get in to JFK before 9:40. Flights to LGA leaving at 6AM are scheduled to arrive around 9AM on AA and UA

Is it a common B6 routine to schedule such long flight times to have a better on time arrival statistics? Have no other logical explanation.
