Narrative:
I had to call in fatigued for my west coast flight. I was completely exhausted after my multiple early shows from my original pairing on two days before. I just came in from a very early departure this morning and by the time I got home; in a vain attempt to get some sleep during the day before my evening departure for the coast; I was completely disoriented and exhausted. Being 'double pumped' or having multiple duty periods in one day is completely unsafe; but asking me to do a 5 hour flight to the west coast and arriving at midnight pacific coast time the same day is completely unsafe.
