Narrative:

I was informed by scheduling that I had flown over 30 hours in a 7 day period by 34 mins. This occurred as a direct result of being scheduled to fly a schedule that I flew as published. All of my trips were entered into the scheduling computer. Scheduling had removed trips, then replaced them. For some unknown reason they thought I was legal.

I was set up and let down. Bottom line: if it's my fault, it's my fault. If it's your fault, it's my fault. If a controller vectors me into a mountain and I buy the farm....
