Point of clarification: The timeframe for a graphite prepreg structure 
absorbing/releasing moisture is days to weeks, not minutes or hours. An 
airplane that lives in AL (very hot and humid during the summer) might still 
have a relatively weaker and softer structure after visiting ND (much cooler 
and less humid) for a week or more. It certainly won't loose much moisture on 
the trip up to ND.

(Yes, I have lived in both ND and AL during summer months, I now live in KS. 
Almost as hot and humid as AL in the summer and cold and windy as ND in the 
winter)

 Actually, I have never exceeded the published Mmo when it was hot and/or 
 humid ...... at FL250 ;-)
