FLC FAILS TO GAIN THEIR MANDATORY 10 HR REST AFTER THE MINIMUM 8 HR REST.

Narrative

TRACKING EXPLAINED THAT AMA WAS AWAITING THE EQUIP FOR A SCHEDULED XA15 DEP; AMA-DFW; WITH ANOTHER CREW. I ACCEPTED HIS EXPLANATION AND WE JOINTLY AGREED ON AN XC30 AM DEP; LBB-AMA; TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED 8 HR CREW REST. FLT XXX LBB-AMA PROCEEDED NORMALLY; THOUGH SLIGHTLY DELAYED. FLT YYY; AMA-DFW; ALSO PROCEEDED UNEVENTFULLY. DUTY DAY LIMIT PREVENTED US FROM FLYING THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED DFW-IND-DFW LEGS; SO TRIP CONCLUDED AT THIS POINT. AT THE TIME OF THE ASSIGNMENT TO FLY AFTER ONLY 8 HRS CREW REST; I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE 10 HR COMPENSATORY REST REQUIREMENT APPLIED; AND WAS COMPULSORY BY FARS. I ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN BY MY IGNORANCE OF THE COMPENSATORY REST REQUIREMENT; MY DESIRE TO BE COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL WITH THE COMPANY'S SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS; AND MY ASSUMPTION THAT CREW TRACKING WAS AT ALL TIMES WATCHING LEGALITIES. I KNOW DIFFERENT NOW. I REALIZE CREW TRACKING ERRED WHEN WE WERE SCHEDULED FOR LESS THAN 10 HRS AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT'S MINIMAL 8 HR CREW REST. I UNDERSTAND I VIOLATED A REGULATORY REQUIREMENT BY ACCEPTING THIS SCHEDULE. THIS WAS ENTIRELY UNINTENTIONAL ON MY PART.
