Narrative:

The leg inbound was work intensive with airborne holding and thunderstorm avoidance on the arrival. We were late and operations was doing a quick turn (26 mins). I had to make a call at the gate to company scheduling to verify we were legal to fly to 16 hours duty. I confirmed that and got food for the rest of my crew who could not get off the plane. Our original scheduled duty day was 13:30. We were already approaching 14 hours. When I entered the cockpit; I thought I heard the first officer confirm a whitestone climb with clearance delivery. It was his leg to fly and he briefed the whitestone climb. We taxied out and were about 50 for takeoff. Ground controller was very busy and would not give taxi time estimates; so we figured both minimum takeoff fuel time and duty time deadlines. I coordinated with crew scheduling to get relief from a minimum overnight so we would have adequate rest. After a taxi time of 1:30 I had the first officer do another full departure brief since so much time had transpired. He briefed whitestone. He then flew a beautiful whitestone departure. Control said we were cleared for a coney climb. I picked up the printout and to my astonishment it said coney. Factors involved being late; doing a quick turn; and fatigue. We ended up at 15:30 on duty and 9:30 hard time.
