Narrative:

I failed to note the zulu time of departure on our dispatch release. Our release time was A30Z and we departed (blocked-out) at B47Z. Our general operations manual states that dispatch releases are only valid for 1 hour. I left over 1 hour late without receiving a new dispatch release. I had been on duty for almost 12 hours. I do not feel that it was a factor, but my first officer has less than 100 hours in the airplane (also less than 100 hours with our company), and I have less than 100 hours as a captain. I am also now based in a different part of the country than my previous experience as an first officer. I was overwhelmed with problems and new sits. That would have been made easier by having an experienced first officer. I feel that a captain with less than 100 hours in the aircraft type should not be allowed to fly with an first officer who also has less than 100 hours of time in that aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: LTT DEPARTS MORE THAN 1 HR AFTER RELEASE TIME. AGAINST COMPANY RULES.

Narrative: I FAILED TO NOTE THE ZULU TIME OF DEP ON OUR DISPATCH RELEASE. OUR RELEASE TIME WAS A30Z AND WE DEPARTED (BLOCKED-OUT) AT B47Z. OUR GENERAL OPS MANUAL STATES THAT DISPATCH RELEASES ARE ONLY VALID FOR 1 HR. I LEFT OVER 1 HR LATE WITHOUT RECEIVING A NEW DISPATCH RELEASE. I HAD BEEN ON DUTY FOR ALMOST 12 HRS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT WAS A FACTOR, BUT MY FO HAS LESS THAN 100 HRS IN THE AIRPLANE (ALSO LESS THAN 100 HRS WITH OUR COMPANY), AND I HAVE LESS THAN 100 HRS AS A CAPT. I AM ALSO NOW BASED IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE COUNTRY THAN MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS AN FO. I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH PROBS AND NEW SITS. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE EASIER BY HAVING AN EXPERIENCED FO. I FEEL THAT A CAPT WITH LESS THAN 100 HRS IN THE ACFT TYPE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO FLY WITH AN FO WHO ALSO HAS LESS THAN 100 HRS OF TIME IN THAT ACFT.
