A proposed (by me, a nobody) 47 hour schedule from Chicago to Miami via Washington and Raleigh, assumes two hours at WAS to facilitate better departures at WAS, assist timekeeping, and allow for inspections (1,000 mile and daily?). Obviously improves utilization, and is only 8 hours longer than the Floridan.
