Not sure what you're proving here. Using the Gleason map checks out for all these. For example a Toronto to Sao Paolo flight is 11 hours, and using the distance calculation for the Gleason, it makes sense for the Sydney Houston flight.
What's the distance between Sydney and Santiago de Chile according to a flat Earth map?
I'll be honest. That's the one flight that makes the flat earth theory less tenable.
Here's what the Dubay guy says about it...

And here's what the compass readings of Max Igan showed when he took that flight...

Why can't you simply answer the question?
Because I've never flown that route. I've flown other long haul flights into the southern hemisphere where I now live. However, Dubay's video explains that the distance is roughly 7000 miles on the flat earth map, and that ends up fitting within the air speed of a 747 to get there within the 13 hours alotted for the flight.
The biggest thing is the report of compass readings taken by a passenger of one of those flights, as discussed in the second link I shared.
While it's not a cut and dried response, the maps you showed aren't the gotcha you may think they are. Also look up real emergency landing stories in history and see where some of these hit the ground... Those flight paths make no sense on a globe. But also not the gotcha flat earth supporters think it is.
Stalemate.
