Getting us through security faster will benefit the airlines if that that is the case as time spent in security will be wasted duty time.
All in all guess its time to write the gov't reps again.
I believe that the new rule states that we get a minimum of 8 hours at the hotel. If that is correct then I would imagine that it wouldn't matter what time we get to the airport. Could be wrong though
