Narrative:

On 9/90 I informed scheduling that I would exceed 34 hours in 7 days as per scheduled flight time in the monthly bid lines. Scheduling then revised my flight time by using canned flight plan time (flight tie filed with ATC) instead of scheduled flight time. By using canned flight plan time I became legal to fly by flight schedules standards.
