8+ hours blocked on LHR-BOS? We’re in Winter when headwinds are strongest and that flight isn’t even close to 8-hours let alone 8+:

UA25 LHR-BOS 7h 5m https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL25

I fully support Pilot’s needing proper rest, but these short BOS-LHR-BOS TATL hops don’t even touch 8-hours.

BOS-SFO can be just as long in winter as LHR-BOS. Does UA block a J seat and put a 3rd pilot on those flights?
Using FlightAware, UA 25 (LHR- BOS) has ranged from 6 hours 46 minutes to 8 hours 35 minutes.
