Narrative:
[I] worked four on; one off; five on. On the fifth day--at the end of pairing--scheduling tried to reassign me. It was already a 12 hour duty day with a three hour sit included. [I] had to fly with new first officers which made my work load much higher. I didn't get much sleep the night before either (day 4). Fell asleep late and woke up twice from passing noises. I was burnt out and was not going to operate any airplane when that exhausted.long duty day; new first officers making work load higher; numerous MEL's on planes; not a good night's sleep all contributed to me being fatigued. Just part of the job.
