Funny thing is, you can still get a legal 19hr duty day under 117. Happened to me a few years ago.
The only way I can even contemplate that happening is delays after takeoff followed by a 3 hr taxi in. While that could theoretically make for a 19 hr duty day, your post is very misleading in that regard.
