Those living in PA and sitting short call can make it to EWR in 2 hours but on occasion it will take 4+ hours to make it to JFK. That's another situation that they'll move on to the next reserve to cover a JFK trip. It's NY, I think everyone is just happy you even try to show up. If they start handing out punishments for this guys will certainly bid away from NY even more than they do now. I haven't heard of anyone getting burned for the 12 hour callout.
