FLT CREW MEMBER RPTS HAVING HIS REST DISTURBED BY SCHEDULING AND NOT ACCEPTING A TRIP ASSIGNMENT.

Narrative

ON THURSDAY; I WAS ON RESERVE ON CALL. I WAS CALLED FOR AN ASSIGNMENT. DUE TO DELAYS; I COMPLETED MY ASSIGNMENT WITH A BLOCK-IN AT XA00 AND A DEBRIEF TIME COMPLETE AT XA16. I WAS CALLED FOR AN ASSIGNMENT FOR NEXT DAY AT APPROX XA15 AND GIVEN A TRIP WITH AN XM20 DEP THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD THAT AN EXCEPTION TO THE CONTRACT ALLOWING 12 HR TIME BTWN TRIPS WAS BEING INVOKED SINCE I WAS THE ONLY RESERVE PLT AVAILABLE. AFTER A MAINT DEBRIEF WITH THE OUTBOUND CREW; A TREK FROM GATE TO OPS; AND CHKING MY ASSIGNMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY; I HEADED HOME. I ARRIVED HOME AT ABOUT XC15. AFTER SOME UNWINDING TIME; PREPARATION OF MY UNIFORM FOR THE NEXT DAY AND SOME PERSONAL MATTERS; I WAS ABLE TO GET TO BED AT XE00. I PLANNED FOR AN XJ30 WAKE-UP FOR MY NEXT DAY'S ASSIGNMENT. I RECEIVED A CALL AT XI30 TO INFORM ME THAT MY DEP HAD SLID 45 MINS. WITH MY REST BEING DISTURBED BY THE CALL FROM CREW SCHEDULING; AND UNABLE TO GET BACK TO SLEEP AFTER TOSSING AND TURNING FOR OVER 1 HR; I CALLED THE CREW DESK TO INFORM THEM THAT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO FLY THE TRIP AS ASSIGNED DUE TO FATIGUE. (IF NOT FOR THE WELL-INTENTIONED; BUT POORLY TIMED CALL FROM CREW SCHEDULING; I WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY FLY THE TRIP AS A SCHEDULED.) I WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING MY CALL TO FIND OUT WHEN I'D BE RESTED ENOUGH TO FLY. I INFORMED THEM THAT THAT WOULD DEPEND ON IF/WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO SLEEP AND THAT I WOULD CALL THEM WHEN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY FLY; WHICH I DID.
