Narrative

I WAS WORKING A FLT TO LAX. MY PICKUP TIME WAS XA40 LOS ANGELES TIME. I ARRIVED INTO LOS ANGELES AT XI18. I WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR AN ASSIGNMENT TILL XU48. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE; I WAS NOT LEGAL FOR ANY ASSIGNMENT THAT EVENING; SO I TOOK A BRIEF 2 HR NAP SINCE I WAS #1 FOR A 1 DAY ASSIGNMENT. THERE WERE AT LEAST 10 1-DAY TRIPS I WAS AVAILABLE FOR. AT XR23 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM SCHEDULING. I RETURNED THE CALL AT XR50. THE CREW DESK ADVISED ME THAT I WAS DEADHEADING ON ANOTHER AIRLINE AND MY RPT TIME WAS XW10. HE THEN ASKED IF I COULD DO THIS ASSIGNMENT AND I SAID 'NO I'VE BASICALLY BEEN UP FROM XA00 LOS ANGELES TIME.' HE THEN ASKED IF I WAS GOING TO CALL IN SICK BECAUSE THEY HAD TO BUY THE TICKETS. I SAID NO; AND HE SAID 'WELL MAYBE YOU'LL GET SOME REST ON THE FLT.' I RECEIVED A MIDDLE SEAT EXIT ROW THAT DID NOT RECLINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF REST ON THE 3 HR FLT. UPON ARRIVING IN ZZZ; I HAVE NOW BASICALLY BEEN UP FOR 25 HRS. WORKING THE FLT ASSIGNED TO ME; I WAS EXHAUSTED. I FELT THAT I WAS SWAYING AND MY EYES BURNED. I HAVE NOW DEVELOPED A HEADACHE. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MINE AND MY CREW'S SAFETY. I KNEW WITH 100% CERTAINTY I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO MY JOB PROPERLY. IF ANY EMER SITUATION HAPPENED I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY ABLE TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE PREPARED FOR AN ASSIGNMENT LIKE THIS WITH SUCH MINIMAL NOTICE. UPON ARR; I HAVE NOW BEEN UP FOR OVER 31 HRS. I WAS BEYOND FATIGUED.
