Narrative:
I had just finished 6 days straight with a 3 day europe trip followed by a 3 day west coast trip that ended with a red-eye. 18 time zones and day and night flying in 6 days with a scheduled double-pump to go out to the uk the night of day number 6 after getting in from the west coast on the red-eye that morning. I thank you for the heads-up to complete this report; but I request that my sick bank not be depleted. If this is deemed operational; great; but if the committee sees it as non-operational; I would request that my sick bank not be depleted for a fatigue call that resulted from a scheduled double-pump pairing that will be illegal under the new rest rules anyway. I'd rather save the sick time and not get paid.
