Narrative:

I was scheduled to fly a 2 day trip followed by a 1 day trip dec/sun/mon/tue/95. Scheduled duty off time on the mon was XA50 local. Actual was XA57. I had an XL45 show the following morning. Actual rest was 10 hours and 48 mins. A portion of the trip was scheduled with more than 9 hours within a 24 hour period and as a result requiring 11 hours normal rest, reduced to 9 hours. I was unaware, I was on reduced rest. We are rarely scheduled to fly over 9 hours in a 24 hour period requiring the longer rest period. I was required to begin compensatory rest at XA57 on tuesday. I was scheduled to be off duty (30 mins after block in) at XA05. We were scheduled to do a tpa turn followed by a cle turn out of mke. We have a computerized crew tracking system which flagged a warning to alert scheduling that a potential duty time violation could occur. The scheduler was aware of this situation. The cle flight was delayed which triggered a critical warning that I would be illegal to do the cle turn. This was overlooked by the scheduler and I was not advised. This was discovered the following morning by scheduling. You really need a computer to track flight time concerning hours flown in a previous 24 hour period. We depend on the computer to monitor this. In this situation, the computer functioned properly, but the assigned crew scheduler did not take appropriate action. We feel that the trip should not have been scheduled this way with such a small margin of error.

Narrative: I WAS SCHEDULED TO FLY A 2 DAY TRIP FOLLOWED BY A 1 DAY TRIP DEC/SUN/MON/TUE/95. SCHEDULED DUTY OFF TIME ON THE MON WAS XA50 LCL. ACTUAL WAS XA57. I HAD AN XL45 SHOW THE FOLLOWING MORNING. ACTUAL REST WAS 10 HRS AND 48 MINS. A PORTION OF THE TRIP WAS SCHEDULED WITH MORE THAN 9 HRS WITHIN A 24 HR PERIOD AND AS A RESULT REQUIRING 11 HRS NORMAL REST, REDUCED TO 9 HRS. I WAS UNAWARE, I WAS ON REDUCED REST. WE ARE RARELY SCHEDULED TO FLY OVER 9 HRS IN A 24 HR PERIOD REQUIRING THE LONGER REST PERIOD. I WAS REQUIRED TO BEGIN COMPENSATORY REST AT XA57 ON TUESDAY. I WAS SCHEDULED TO BE OFF DUTY (30 MINS AFTER BLOCK IN) AT XA05. WE WERE SCHEDULED TO DO A TPA TURN FOLLOWED BY A CLE TURN OUT OF MKE. WE HAVE A COMPUTERIZED CREW TRACKING SYS WHICH FLAGGED A WARNING TO ALERT SCHEDULING THAT A POTENTIAL DUTY TIME VIOLATION COULD OCCUR. THE SCHEDULER WAS AWARE OF THIS SIT. THE CLE FLT WAS DELAYED WHICH TRIGGERED A CRITICAL WARNING THAT I WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO DO THE CLE TURN. THIS WAS OVERLOOKED BY THE SCHEDULER AND I WAS NOT ADVISED. THIS WAS DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING MORNING BY SCHEDULING. YOU REALLY NEED A COMPUTER TO TRACK FLT TIME CONCERNING HRS FLOWN IN A PREVIOUS 24 HR PERIOD. WE DEPEND ON THE COMPUTER TO MONITOR THIS. IN THIS SIT, THE COMPUTER FUNCTIONED PROPERLY, BUT THE ASSIGNED CREW SCHEDULER DID NOT TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. WE FEEL THAT THE TRIP SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED THIS WAY WITH SUCH A SMALL MARGIN OF ERROR.
