ALTDEV. RPTR PLT'S COMPANY CALLED TO FLY A FLT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLT'S SLEEP SCHEDULE AND CONSEQUENTLY THE RPTR HAD ONLY 3 HRS SLEEP. FATIGUE A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE RPTR CLBING THROUGH THE ASSIGNED ALT WHICH CAUSED A LOSS OF SEPARATION.

Narrative

EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS I HAVE DONE THE SAME RTE AND HAVE BECOME USED TO THE SAME CLRNCS. ON MAR/WED/96 MY COMPANY SUDDENLY ADVISED ME TO SHOW UP TO WORK 5 1/2 HRS EARLY. THIS DID NOT FIT WITH MY SCHEDULE AND I LOST SLEEP. LITERALLY; I HAD 3 HRS OF SLEEP. WHEN ORL GAVE ME A CLRNC; 'CLRED AS FILED; CLB AND MAINTAIN 3000 FT' I BELIEVE I REPEATED IT CORRECTLY. HOWEVER; I CONTINUED CLB THROUGH 3000 FT TO 5000 FT CREATING A NON CRITICAL TFC CONFLICT. I OFFERED TO DSND TO 3000 FT (NOT KNOWING THAT IS WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE). I HAD THE TFC IN SIGHT AT ALL TIMES BUT IF I WERE IMC; WOULD THE CTLR HAVE ADVISED ME OF MY ERROR? I HOPE SO. FATIGUE AND COMPLACENCY ARE THE DIRECT PROBS. THEY GO HAND-IN-HAND TO A CERTAIN POINT. THE OTHER FACTOR THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IS THE FACT THAT MY COMPANY FORCED ME TO FLY 5 1/2 HRS EARLIER THAN I WAS PREPARED; LEAVING ME PHYSICALLY STRAINED. IF I WOULD'VE REFUSED THERE ARE ENOUGH PLTS TO COVER ME WHEN THEY FIRE ME. TOO MANY PLTS IS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR LOUSY TREATMENT OF PLTS.
