I agree that it should be release/debrief to report/brief time. That hour can make a difference and most likely would only affect a small number of cities we fly to domestically. I don't feel that 14 hours release to report is that much to ask. I'm not for a radical change to what the FAs have for needing a CBD layover.
I did fly with a captain once who told me, "ALPA ****es me off. They insist on putting us far away from the airport when all I want to do is eat, sleep and take a c**p. I don't care about all this 'oooh, look I can go to a museum or ballet or shop for nice clothes.' I don't give a **** about all that. Just give me a short ride to an airport hotel, give me my key so I can go sleep!" No wonder his trips were often in open time.

Work pants and New Balances are perfect when there are drink specials to be had.
