Narrative:

I didn't fill in the above, because the problem is with duty time, not specific aircraft. I'm on reverse this month, and upon checking in the night of oct/xx/96, was given reserve duty for oct/yy/96 later that night. I was called to take a lax-las-lax-hnl segment on oct/yy/96. During the lax- hnl portion I had a chance to add up my logbook for the past week and found I had served as so on flts totalling 35 hours within the past 7 days, not usually a concern as my usual flight segments are international, specifically lax-hnl-lax. Upon contacting scheduling after the flight, they at first denied there was an over duty situation, then admitted that perhaps there was one, as a previously flown segment of mine had not been put into their scheduling computer. So the problem as I see it: 1) the sometimes confusing interface between domestic and flag duty rules. 2) my unfounded trust in scheduling not to send me on a trip that was illegal due to duty rules. 3) my complacency in duty time awareness due to usually flying internationally without a 30 in 7 limitation, therefore being unconcerned about keeping my logbook added up in a timely manner, and applying that to domestic flight rules. I am now fanatically aware of my flight time and duty rules, and completely suspicious of the scheduling department.

Title: A SO RPT OF FLC WORK SCHEDULING PROBS WHEN MIXING DOMESTIC WITH INTL FLT TIMES.

Narrative: I DIDN'T FILL IN THE ABOVE, BECAUSE THE PROB IS WITH DUTY TIME, NOT SPECIFIC ACFT. I'M ON REVERSE THIS MONTH, AND UPON CHKING IN THE NIGHT OF OCT/XX/96, WAS GIVEN RESERVE DUTY FOR OCT/YY/96 LATER THAT NIGHT. I WAS CALLED TO TAKE A LAX-LAS-LAX-HNL SEGMENT ON OCT/YY/96. DURING THE LAX- HNL PORTION I HAD A CHANCE TO ADD UP MY LOGBOOK FOR THE PAST WK AND FOUND I HAD SERVED AS SO ON FLTS TOTALLING 35 HRS WITHIN THE PAST 7 DAYS, NOT USUALLY A CONCERN AS MY USUAL FLT SEGMENTS ARE INTL, SPECIFICALLY LAX-HNL-LAX. UPON CONTACTING SCHEDULING AFTER THE FLT, THEY AT FIRST DENIED THERE WAS AN OVER DUTY SIT, THEN ADMITTED THAT PERHAPS THERE WAS ONE, AS A PREVIOUSLY FLOWN SEGMENT OF MINE HAD NOT BEEN PUT INTO THEIR SCHEDULING COMPUTER. SO THE PROB AS I SEE IT: 1) THE SOMETIMES CONFUSING INTERFACE BTWN DOMESTIC AND FLAG DUTY RULES. 2) MY UNFOUNDED TRUST IN SCHEDULING NOT TO SEND ME ON A TRIP THAT WAS ILLEGAL DUE TO DUTY RULES. 3) MY COMPLACENCY IN DUTY TIME AWARENESS DUE TO USUALLY FLYING INTERNATIONALLY WITHOUT A 30 IN 7 LIMITATION, THEREFORE BEING UNCONCERNED ABOUT KEEPING MY LOGBOOK ADDED UP IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND APPLYING THAT TO DOMESTIC FLT RULES. I AM NOW FANATICALLY AWARE OF MY FLT TIME AND DUTY RULES, AND COMPLETELY SUSPICIOUS OF THE SCHEDULING DEPT.
