Narrative:

An auxiliary door light came on in the cockpit after takeoff. This has been written up repeatedly in the cabin log. When the captain contacted dispatch, he was requested to 'go-on' and to take this airplane. He elected not to, and although we did not evacuate/evacuation, he asked us to go over our commands to ourselves and to know that it was possible we would blow tires due to being heavy. We returned without incident. The cockpit crew were illegal and said they did not discover this until we were airborne. My feeling is they had enough to do without also having to establish their legality. I was not happy to hear that dispatch asked the captain to ignore the situation and to continue on. We got to madrid 6 hours late and were totally exhausted. Supplemental information from acn 441258: the landing seemed to use most of the runway, but was otherwise unremarkable. Supplemental information from acn 441259: the fire trucks checked us out and aircraft was allowed to taxi in.

Narrative: AN AUX DOOR LIGHT CAME ON IN THE COCKPIT AFTER TKOF. THIS HAS BEEN WRITTEN UP REPEATEDLY IN THE CABIN LOG. WHEN THE CAPT CONTACTED DISPATCH, HE WAS REQUESTED TO 'GO-ON' AND TO TAKE THIS AIRPLANE. HE ELECTED NOT TO, AND ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT EVAC, HE ASKED US TO GO OVER OUR COMMANDS TO OURSELVES AND TO KNOW THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE WE WOULD BLOW TIRES DUE TO BEING HVY. WE RETURNED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE COCKPIT CREW WERE ILLEGAL AND SAID THEY DID NOT DISCOVER THIS UNTIL WE WERE AIRBORNE. MY FEELING IS THEY HAD ENOUGH TO DO WITHOUT ALSO HAVING TO ESTABLISH THEIR LEGALITY. I WAS NOT HAPPY TO HEAR THAT DISPATCH ASKED THE CAPT TO IGNORE THE SIT AND TO CONTINUE ON. WE GOT TO MADRID 6 HRS LATE AND WERE TOTALLY EXHAUSTED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 441258: THE LNDG SEEMED TO USE MOST OF THE RWY, BUT WAS OTHERWISE UNREMARKABLE.
