Narrative:
I was scheduled to fly for a week with the total hours of 27 hours 20 mins. I was then junior assigned to fly a shift of 5 flight hours. My total would then be 32 hours 20 mins, which is good for part 121 operations for a 19 seat aircraft. During the week on a 3 hour layover, I was given a round trip non revenue ferry flight which was unscheduled. This trip totaled 2 hours 36 mins. I flew the rest of the week's flts. I therefore wound up with 34 hours 45 mins total flight hours in 7 days. Nothing else warned me I was approaching 34 hours. Crew tracking needs to watch their assignments more carefully.
