Default The Alarming Amount of Duty Periods >10 hours

Was kind of shocked to see the Union's pairing analysis for May that shows a surprising amount of duty periods over 10 hours....... around ~60% of them. I never realized it was that high, no wonder I feel exhausted after every sequence.

What can we do to fix this? I know other airlines have increased compensation for pilots who work more then 10 hours in a duty period. But there seems to be a large contingent of our pilots, mostly from more senior folks, that say if we implement this at AA it will just make things worse. So what else can be done?
