Narrative:

Had 7.2 hours block time from previous day's flight. Flight started at XA30Z on dec/xa/98, same time as dec/xb/98. Flight from elp to mci was scheduled for 1 hour 36 mins. Flight from mci-huf was scheduled for 55 mins. Total flight time was 2 hours 31 mins. Time dropped from previous day 2 hours 13 mins. Covered flight on first leg from elp-huf, but we went over 8 in 24 on second leg from mci to huf. As this was a scheduled trip, I assumed that the scheduled time was under 8 in 24. I failed to verify the drop time. When the captain checked in after completing the dec/xa/98 flight, the crew scheduler said they would let us know if there was going to be a conflict. They never did call us back. We had forgotten about the concern over time when we showed for the flight the next day. Apparently the schedulers knew there was a problem while we were en route from elp to mci, however, they failed to let us know.

Narrative: HAD 7.2 HRS BLOCK TIME FROM PREVIOUS DAY'S FLT. FLT STARTED AT XA30Z ON DEC/XA/98, SAME TIME AS DEC/XB/98. FLT FROM ELP TO MCI WAS SCHEDULED FOR 1 HR 36 MINS. FLT FROM MCI-HUF WAS SCHEDULED FOR 55 MINS. TOTAL FLT TIME WAS 2 HRS 31 MINS. TIME DROPPED FROM PREVIOUS DAY 2 HRS 13 MINS. COVERED FLT ON FIRST LEG FROM ELP-HUF, BUT WE WENT OVER 8 IN 24 ON SECOND LEG FROM MCI TO HUF. AS THIS WAS A SCHEDULED TRIP, I ASSUMED THAT THE SCHEDULED TIME WAS UNDER 8 IN 24. I FAILED TO VERIFY THE DROP TIME. WHEN THE CAPT CHKED IN AFTER COMPLETING THE DEC/XA/98 FLT, THE CREW SCHEDULER SAID THEY WOULD LET US KNOW IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CONFLICT. THEY NEVER DID CALL US BACK. WE HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE CONCERN OVER TIME WHEN WE SHOWED FOR THE FLT THE NEXT DAY. APPARENTLY THE SCHEDULERS KNEW THERE WAS A PROB WHILE WE WERE ENRTE FROM ELP TO MCI, HOWEVER, THEY FAILED TO LET US KNOW.
