Narrative:
I was called by crew scheduling to fly. I told crew scheduler I was over 32 in 7. She said no, that the computer tested the sequence and I was ok. Called crew tracking. They said they were busy with other issues. Called crew scheduler back and asked her to check it again -- she said she would. When I began this sequence, I had 22 hours 25 mins of hard time in the last 4 days. This sequence was worth 10 hours 18 mins, giving a total of 32 hours 43 mins in 6 days. I suspect a programming error.
