Narrative:

A conflict of duty day/flight time regulation interpretation may have caused crew scheduling to schedule, and me to accept, a flight(south) which resulted in illegality. The conflict is in interpretation between myself and crew scheduling, and I may have indeed been incorrect in my interpretation.
