Narrative:

Oct/aa/93 I received an XA40 wake up call for an XY40 pickup. Flight departed grb for dtw XZ40 as scheduled. Upon arrival in dtw the crew was released from our trip and were directed to deadhead to msp. Our revised trip ended approximately AZ30, oct/bb/93. Later that evening approximately PM30 I received a call from crew scheduling and was given a trip. The trip was an msp-las-msp which I was told would depart as soon as I arrived at the airport. I was reluctant to accept the trip citing crew rest but the scheduler reminded me I was legal for the trip. I accepted the trip (with reservations) which returned to msp AM00 oct/bb/93. My primary focus on this trip was battling fatigue. I was very disappointed to be placed into this position where overcoming fatigue demanded so much attention. I was up for 25 hour 20 mins when flight arrived at the gate. In the future, I will refuse such a trip with similar circumstances where safety could be compromised.

Title: FLC SCHEDULING SEQUENCE SUCH THAT RPTR SUFFERS GREAT FATIGUE BATTLE.

Narrative: OCT/AA/93 I RECEIVED AN XA40 WAKE UP CALL FOR AN XY40 PICKUP. FLT DEPARTED GRB FOR DTW XZ40 AS SCHEDULED. UPON ARR IN DTW THE CREW WAS RELEASED FROM OUR TRIP AND WERE DIRECTED TO DEADHEAD TO MSP. OUR REVISED TRIP ENDED APPROX AZ30, OCT/BB/93. LATER THAT EVENING APPROX PM30 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CREW SCHEDULING AND WAS GIVEN A TRIP. THE TRIP WAS AN MSP-LAS-MSP WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD DEPART AS SOON AS I ARRIVED AT THE ARPT. I WAS RELUCTANT TO ACCEPT THE TRIP CITING CREW REST BUT THE SCHEDULER REMINDED ME I WAS LEGAL FOR THE TRIP. I ACCEPTED THE TRIP (WITH RESERVATIONS) WHICH RETURNED TO MSP AM00 OCT/BB/93. MY PRIMARY FOCUS ON THIS TRIP WAS BATTLING FATIGUE. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED TO BE PLACED INTO THIS POS WHERE OVERCOMING FATIGUE DEMANDED SO MUCH ATTN. I WAS UP FOR 25 HR 20 MINS WHEN FLT ARRIVED AT THE GATE. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL REFUSE SUCH A TRIP WITH SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE SAFETY COULD BE COMPROMISED.
