I've heard one recommendation from the FTDT BRC was an increase from 8 hours to 9 hours on a 12 hour max duty day. If there is a time zone restriction, that would prohibit transcon turns (which B6 was looking for).

12 hours max duty, no extensions.
10 hour max flight, with 2 legs.
More than two legs and you start reducing the legal flight hours. Net result would be a max of 4-5 really short legs, or maybe 3-4 longer legs.
10 hours min rest, not reducible, and starting/ending in the hotel lobby.
I'm also hearing limits on night flying, 9 hours max duty for night operations (still not sure what defines an FAA night operation, but I could guess)
