Narrative:
Current air carrier scheduling practices allow for trip sequences (pairings) to be constructed that may not be consistent with the fatigue risk mitigation plan (frmp). A demanding pairing was competed. Fatigue was declared for a subsequent pairing. Through the generation of required air carrier internal reports for that declaration; I became aware of an inconsistency between the flight time/duty time regulations governing this pairing and our newly implemented fatigue risk mitigation plan (frmp). This inconsistency has been reported to the airline; the federal aviation administration; and the department of transportation.
