Narrative:

The company has us (the pilots) flying new rtes. Several daily schedules involve flying from pit to hgr, hgr to pit, pit to hgr, hgr to pit, pit to hgr, hgr to bwi, bwi to hgr, hgr to pit, pit to aoo. I believe the block time between pit and hgr, hgr and pit, as well as, manager and bwi, and bwi and hgr are unrealistically short. As a result, the first officer and I flew 8 hours and 19 mins between rest periods. I have brought this to the management's attention through the union scheduling committee.
