How much flight time do you think your going to get in a 12 hour duty day if you've got a few hours on the ground between flights?

I think the price that pilots are going to pay for this extra rest is going to prove very high.
Not quite sure how you meant that I hope the price is not as high as the passengers in buffalo, or maybe Lexington. It always seems like everyone is quick to point out how it will effect their wallet not the lives of the folks you are supposed to be safely flying...once again maybe I read that wrong and you meant safety first
