Keep gaslighting, you’re just naive sitting on the pretty side of the seniority list. I’ll fly 1.5-2 hour legs any day of the week to a regional airport and back with 5 hour total daily block and layovers generally around 16-18h because the duty stayed below 10h. Unfortunately 3 legs at AA looks something like 2.5h leg, 2.5h sit, 3.5h leg, 50 min sit, 2.25h leg, resulting in 8.5h block and over 12h duty because we have zero limitations on trip construction in our contract.
